Yep, Trump’s wall already has worked.
As a political stunt.
For the weak-minded.

Can we all agree that the parts of France that built a wall have very few Mexicans?

the decision not to build fortifications along the Belgian frontier was at least in part political, and when the political situation changed, they started to build fortifications there too
the French expected the Germans to attack through Belgium because they felt they could stop them there with Belgian and British help; the Belgians obviously would have to join the French if the Germans attacked their country but the British could also not remain neutral if the Germans attacked through Belgium
the politics never changed. the plan was never to build 'maginot' type fortifications all the way to the sea. just because in the run up to actual war in the late 30s the french started to bolster the battle field doesn't mean they suddenly changed strategies.
it seems like you're confusing pre-wwi politics and pre-ww 2 politics. the british and french were already in agreement about fighting the germans. there wasn't a grand question of whether or not the Brits (or Beligians) would fight. The q
The fortifications did not extend through the Ardennes Forest (which was believed to be impenetrable by Commander-in-Chief Maurice Gamelin) or along France's border with Belgium, because the two countries had signed an alliance in 1920, by which the French army would operate in Belgium if the German forces invaded. However, after France had failed to counter Germany's remilitarisation of the Rhineland, Belgium—thinking that France was not a reliable ally—abrogated the treaty in 1936 and declared neutrality. France quickly extended the Maginot Line along the Franco-Belgian border, but not to the standard of the rest of the line.

Not receiving pay for more than a month has taken a toll on employees across the government, but especially on those who are not in high-salary jobs. The employees summoned back from furlough to process tax refunds are paid between $25,800 and $51,000 a year, depending on their seniority. IRS employees will miss a second paycheck Monday if the government does not reopen this week.
USDA meat inspectors also have begun calling in sick — in numbers large enough to trigger an agency crackdown. The inspectors were told Jan. 11 to bring in a doctor’s note, even if they were ill for a single day, records show.
Six days later, after protests from union leaders, agency officials reverted to existing policy, which calls for a doctor’s note after three days.
