Biden does have some sense. That's why he's selling it for scrap. The Great Wall didn't work, and neither did the Berlin Wall. Both forced people to go around (or, in a few dramatic cases in Berlin, fly over). But the expenditure was great, and the results really weren't. Plus, both were garrisoned by troops. Which wouldn't be allowed in the US because of posse comitatus.
Meanwhile, the US and Canada has the longest unguarded border on the planet. And some folks who make their way to Canada just stroll across the border. But mostly it isn't really a problem because there's not a great attraction for Canadians to go south. There is a great attraction for Latin Americans to head north. Building a wall will be an expensive boondoggle that will not work.
Punish employers who hire undocumented workers. THAT will stem the flow, because the attraction of work will be all but eliminated. No work, no attraction, and they won't bother to make the trek.
I'm more than happy to discuss immigration policy and reform. The Wall was a simplistic solution that a simpleton dreamed-up (i.e. Trump), and Mexico was never going to pay for it. It was never a considered policy decision, just a "put up a wall to keep them out". No consideration of efficacy was made, or they wouldn't have even ordered samples of wall to begin with.
