I support enforcing all immigration laws and also strengthening them so that we no longer let in over a million legally every year.
But I don't think a wall is the best way.
All we need to do is go after the people who employ illegals like we used to do. Until the 1990s most employers would never hire an illegal for anything except cash paid daily labor because getting caught was a serious crime.
If we returned to that all the illegals would be unemployed and would "self deport."
We already have 700 miles of fence, and people tunnel under it all the time, and they can climb it if they want if it were in deserted areas or places owned by private land owners. Go to the border and you'll see all the land on this side of the Rio Grande is owned by private owners who are farming it or ranching it. They can get anything across if they desire, and there's little anyone can do about it.
Frankly a wall won't work.
