Read our privacy policy It is a "fantasy" to think that constructing a wall on the Mexican border will keep immigrants out of the US, scientists investigating global migration have concluded. “Trump’s wall, no matter how high it is, is not going to keep out the visa overstayers because they fly in, they come in legally, and then they become illegal,” he said. As for the remaining portion, he said evidence from border crossing around the world suggest even an expanded wall would not stop people finding their way over, under or around. “No matter whether you have a wall, these workers are going to find a way to cross and get to the US because they have this magnet attracting them.” With immigrant workers taking on work that “Americans don’t want to do”, she said this demand is not going to vanish any time soon.
