I wish I could say that this was my idea because it seems to have some merit. What if we "open" the government and within, say, ninety days we have a national referendum on, the wall?
The decision of the voters would be binding.
There is no legal basis for holding a federal referendum in the US so it would be of no legal effect whatsoever. You would first have to amend the constitution.

Could you hold a Referendum on legalizing Cannabis? Or is that illegal too?
Referendums were never held in the UK until the 1970s and they are still not legally binding.
The two main national referendums were: 1975 - staying in the European Community; and 2016 - leaving it.

Live by the sword and die by the sword, but you may be correct. It would just be an issue of the process by which a referendum could be called. My guess is they would still design it in a way to make sure it seldom happened unless Wall Street and the party star chambers approved.
