Is it a stupid idea?
Well, my apartment has walls. I don't think they're a stupid idea. They come with the upside of keeping people out if I don't want them coming in. And you can leave a hole in a wall, put a door there. If someone wants to come inside, they can knock and you can let them in if you want to.
But a wall across a whole country border? It's not that different. It just takes more bricks. Some sections can be just fence. I'm pretty sure China did something similar a couple thousand years ago. Created lots of jobs for lots of people.
Can we do it?
We built skyscrapers so high that your watch goes faster on the top floor than on the ground floor. We have dams made of billions of tons of concrete that hold back quadrillions of tons of water. We got a particle accelerator that runs across two countries. We spent ten billion dollars over 20 years to dig a tunnel under the Alps because we didn't feel like going around them. So yeah, we can build a wall.
And it's gonna be an amazing wall. It's gonna be amazing. It's gonna be the best wall.
