Is it is worthless unless someone monitors it.

You could build a 40 foot tall wall out of all the steel and concrete you want, but unless it is regularly patrolled and monitored, it is completely worthless. Whoever wants to breech it will do so unless they are observed and caught doing so.

If a wall is built, how much more illegal border crossings is it going to stop than a border without a wall? Absolutely none.
