After all the threads about putting solar panels on The Wall,it got me to thinking: Why not do to The Rio Grande,what The TVA did with The Tennessee River? It could hugely benefit both sides of the river.Maybe form a partnership with Mexico,where they provide lots of not so technical labor,and materials such as concrete,rock,etc..

A chain of huge lakes and deep river channel,with lots of power from Hydro electric dams,could transform that area.It would also be easier to patrol for illegal crossings.Hell,you could fill it with crocs and piranha.

Or we could simply enforce existing laws and fine the hell out of employers who hire illegal aliens; removing the incentive for coming to the US in the first place......but hey....lets spend tens of billions of dollars on something that won't work.

They already have two large impoundments that are great, Amistad and Falcon, amazing bass fishing.

Creative thinking. Greens would be throwing themselves off cliffs if this were to be considered.

How about we pass draconian laws with heavy and enforced penalties when hiring illegals first.

Then better secure our borders our ports and terminals.

Turn it into a string of golf courses. Mexicans don't play golf.

The Rio Grande isn't more than a trickle half the year.
