1.4 million illegals working under stolen Social Security numbers

Most illegal immigrants who pay taxes have stolen someone else’s legal identity, and the IRS doesn’t do a very good job of letting those American citizens and illegal immigrants know they’re being impersonated, the tax agency’s inspector general said in a new report released Thursday.

The problem with the wall is

1) the cost and 

2) illegal immigration mostly isn't coming over the Mexican border illegally.   Most of these people come in just like a regular tourist, and blend into society, just disappear from the radar.   Trump himself says that 1 million people a day cross the US-Mexican border LEGALLY.   That's the easiest way to get in- just drive through the border crossing.   Another great way to get in is to buy a plane ticket.   Anyone with a passport can come in as a tourist and just disappear.  

Which brings me back to the cost.   20 billion dollars for a useless wall that doesn't attack the problem where it is actually occurring.

I'm okay with abolishing the IRS if it is replaced with an effective method of enforcing tax laws and collecting taxes.  

Otherwise, abolish the IRS and a lot more people will just refuse to pay taxes.  And then you'll be calling for some kind of enforcement, because how would it be fair if you paid taxes and your neighbor decided not to.
