And that's if it even was feasible to build and staff a 2000 mile long wall (which, by the way, if there was just one guard every 100m would need a constant staff of over 31,000...

It would be a colossal waste of time, money and resources for very little payoff. It was a catchy soundbite to win over some simple-minded voters and it worked. There's no reason for him to actually do it.
