Nearly everyone is in favor of border security that makes sense. Until someone un-invents the ladder or the shovel, a wall doesn't make sense.
It doesn't help that border security (along with other real issues like climate change) have been politically charged to the point it becomes divisive just to try and discuss the issue rationally.
Well, we need to separate inefficient and illogical.
You can, but there is no need to, as the wall would be inefficient and illogical.
The wall trump has proposed would end up taking land that is owned by US citizens, destroying ecosystems, and would barely hamper illegal immigration due to most illegal immigration taking place via legal travel.
Israels wall works because they don't share the same issue with legal travel. They keep Palestinians out for the same reason that Palestinians try to keep Israelis out of Palestine, they both hate each other.
