I've given you several.

You haven't given me a single one. None of your suggestions can work to deny them entry, because they're already physically present in the U.S. when you catch them. And you don't need anything new to keep them in detention once you've caught them.

Once again, the issue isn't letting people walk right in. It's what you do once you catch them right after they walk in.

Because you're not looking at the right problem, none of your solutions work. We can keep people from physically crossing the border at entry points - we're not letting them stroll across. But we're physically unable to keep them from getting onto the stretches of U.S. soil between the Mexican border and the first point at which we can build a wall or fence. At which point they are allowed to claim asylum and legally stay in the U.S. until the claim is resolved.

The problem is that our border control apparatus is aimed at the wrong problem as well - how to catch people who try to sneak into the country, and not how to deal with people who don't try to sneak but claim asylum.
