I can't make sense of why President Trump wanted a border wall between USA and Mexico. Was it really needed?

President Trump argued that a border wall was needed to keep out illegal immigrants, drug smugglers, and criminals who could potentially enter the United States via Mexico. He also argued that the wall would help reduce the number of unauthorized border crossings, drug seizures, and violent crimes committed along the border. Although there is no firm statistics available to indicate its effectiveness, some reports indicate that border wall has been successful in helping reduce the flow of people and drugs across the border.
