So what you're saying is we threaten them to pay billions of dollars for something they don't even want, and then threaten them to continue to trade goods with us even though there is a wall separating us from them?
At the part where you said the wall wouldn't cover everywhere. What's the point of the wall then?

It has nothing to do with threatening them. Trump himself has said they probably won't directly pay for the wall, and we could make them pay indirectly through tariffs, and much more. He has some ideas on his website if you wanna read it. Most recent one I heard was cutting off wiring money from America to Mexico that many people send to their families in Mexico. We already have a border patrol, what does better security (that being a wall) do to change anything? We already have a figurative wall between us and Mexico, and between us and Canada. Every country has it, and some have an actual wall themselves.
As for the wall not covering everywhere, the terrain wouldn't require a wall in certain areas because the terrain itself acts as a wall.
There's quite a few articles from news media like CNN that cover in detail Trump's idea for immigration/the wall.
