President Trump has stated that the wall is needed to protect national security and reduce illegal immigration. He believes that a physical barrier will make it harder for individuals to cross the border unlawfully. Critics argue that it will be expensive, ineffective and unethical, while not addressing the root causes of why people flee their home countries in search of better opportunities. In short, whether or not a wall is needed is largely dependent on one’s political standpoint.

President Trump had long advocated for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to protect national security, reduce criminal entries, and control unauthorized immigration. Proponents of the wall argued that it would reduce crime and deter illegal immigration. Opponents argued that it would be expensive, inefficient, and incompatible with some environmental conditions on the border.
