We have not made a dent in the problem, so it is pretty obvious that law enforcement is incapable of stopping the drug trade and claiming that the wall will do something of consequence to drug addiction is unlikely.
There are things we need to do for Border Security that all agree on and that would be the starting point for negotiations.
Just stomping your feet and yelling Wall is not negotiating.
I've been involved in negotiations for a long time and rarely have seen just making demands work and when it did, there was not a next negotiation. The relationship was over. Period
we’ve spent more that that in the war on poverty, and we haven’t put a dent in that either.

rather than speculating wildly on what the wall will or won’t do, why can’t we look at what happened in places that enacted walls, like san diego and Yuma?
