Even the Romans understood a good wall is needed to keep the illegals out...

And how did that work for them? Roman Empire still holding strong against then Visigoths?

Worked for about 400 years. Even the great wall of China worked as long as it was manned and kept up. It kept out the Huns—but unmanned caused the mongols almost no time to breach. Even hear of the great wall of Korea? A great historic site-—too bad its in North Korea.

No because it takes some will to man a wall. Otherwise it is just a find for future archaeologists.
