Bad people are always going to find a way to do bad things.
People are always going to find a way to smuggle drugs.
As the president continues to screw over the American people by shutting down the government to get his wall, drug smugglers are finding new creative ways to get their product into the United States: tunnels. Yep, full on Shawshank Redemption-ing it. This pertains to US history (sorry, not the Gilded Age) in that when the British Government passed the Molasses Act, Americans just figured out ways to smuggle the taxed goods into the colonies. No matter what we do, no matter how big our wall, no matter how good our security, someone is going to be able to sneak something in. Now, instead of harming the American people in order to prevent others from sneaking themselves and things in, we should not invest in a wall but in scanners. By using infrared, xray, and other scanning systems, we can more accurately detect smuggled people and goods while also not harming Americans.
In essence, the wall is useless.
