Building the wall will inhibit smugglers. We'll see if it reduces the cartels income.

What the USA should not do (again) is "purposely allowed licensed firearms dealers to sell weapons to illegal straw buyers, hoping to track the guns to Mexican drug cartel leaders and arrest them"

Building a wall will have nearly no impact on smugglers. The portion of material that comes on foot over the wall is a vanishing fraction. It's primarily a way for coyotes to extract a bit more extra value.

Of course the wall is going to reduce cartel income. It's your fantasy world, and you can make it happen!
