Except you won't cut it 50%...the border is much too large to maintain and the people who are stopped will simply just use other avenues of arriving in the states. Seriously I mean all that happens when you're caught is you're turned back around, some family who came all the way from Bolivia or Guatemala isn't going to go "oh well guess we can't make it!" they're going to keep trying until they get in, just like they do now with the current border patrol.OK, so then we cut it down 50%. Sounds good.
The cost to actual illegal immigration deterrence ratio is terrible, that's why the wall is a retarded idea.
MORE people come to the US legally and overstay than enter a border illegally, and the number of people crossing the border drops every year.
Also more Mexicans have gone back to Mexico than immigrated to America since 2005, another reason I'm confused Trump is obsessed with the border: http://www.pewhispanic.org/2015/11/19/more-mexicans-leaving-than-coming-to-the-u-s/
