Mexico will not pay for that wall. Trump's histrionics regarding Mexico and payment are laughable at best.
Also, the cost of building the wall is one thing, but there are also huge costs associated with maintaining a structure of that magnitude which is something very few places have even mentioned.
Aside from that there's the issue of government landgrab (from private citizens) in order to build the wall -- I think this is a pretty significant issue as well, especially if you belong to the "government get off my lawn" crowd.
Lastly, I don't think data supports a wall being an effective deterrent to neither immigration nor smugling, but it's not something I've paid close attention to and I don't have the time right now to look into it.
