Not at scale. Even the Great Wall of China failed to keep the marauders out. Genghis Khan and his armies had no trouble invading Chinese territory, for example, nor did various other tribes from the north. In some cases, the invaders may have simply gone around sections of the wall; in others, they found more ingenious methods. The Tanguts, in 1002, were able to cross the wall easily by filling in trenches along its length. in 1644 when the Qing troops marched through the gates of the Shanhai Pass and replaced the Ming dynasty as rulers of China.
The most effective and inexpensive deterrent to illegal immigration is to simply go after the criminal employers breaking the law by hiring them. On the other hand, right now employers are complaining that with the current full employment, there is not enough labor even with all the illegal immigrants working. Maybe a better policy would be to design a viable path to legal status for the illegal immigrants we already have., and encourage more immigration, not less.
I didn't make any such equation, but the right certainly has called them "invaders" on a regular basis. I notice that you did not address any of the points I actually made.
Many places. Israel for example. Hungary. Facebook, Google, Twitter. Most government facilities including the White House. Your house.

Interesting that you equate the illegal immigrants coming across our southern borders as marauders. That is more extreme than Trump.
The coyotes are often bringing in unaccompanied children. Are they marauders? How would they scale the wall?
