left wing politicians on the other hand are doing the reverse, they are making it more appealing to come here... take for example minimum wage getting increased in California, that makes it more appealing to immigrate to the US...

Why are so many politicians weak on migration? Look to who benefits and pays politicians for the answer.
His ideas do need polishing up. They still remain wrong. Stopping illegal migration by building an expensive wall and then landing the taxpayers with the annual cost of maintaining it is stupid, no matter how much polish is used. Removing the benefits of overstaying or coming illegally works. Cost less could even be profitable and easier to police.
People hiring illegal migrants aren't bothered with things like minimum wage.
