A wall is an example of a denial measure. It hinders an opponent’s attacks without changing the opponent’s inclination to attack.<ref>[https://www.britannica.com/topic/denial-military-strategy Denial - military strategy, Encycloppedia Britannica online]</ref>
Many American [[conservative]]s and [[right-wing]] activists want to finish building a southern border wall across the [[Mexico|Mexican]] border to protect the [[United States]] from an invasion of [[illegal immigrants]] and some terrorists as well. Although many [[secular left]]ists in the United States are for [[open borders]], they fail to realize that illegal/legal immigration from [[Latin America]] and other religious areas is a force of [[desecularization]]. In their 2010 journal article entitled, ''Secularism, Fundamentalism or Catholicism? The Religious Composition of the United States to 2043'' published in the ''Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion'', [[Eric Kaufmann]], Vegard Skirbekk and Anne Goujon wrote: "The relatively low fertility of [[American atheism|secular Americans]] and the religiosity of the immigrant inflow provide a countervailing force that will cause the secularization process within the total population to plateau before 2043. This represents an important theoretical point in that demography permits society to become more religious even as individuals tend to become less religious over time."<ref>[http://www.sneps.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/jssr_15101.pdf ''Secularism, Fundamentalism or Catholicism?
