I'd go with #1 and 2 at the same time... we can multitask.
After all, if we have no borders we don't have a sovereign nation and if we don't start applying equal justice for all then it's not worth having a sovereign nation.
Both are equally important, in my opinion.
So let's flush the FBI/DOJ/Deep State toilet and then close the door, as it were.

We should go for a trench rather than a wall. Trenches are lot cheaper!

Democrats are opposed to every single item on your list. They don’t want to do anything that is god for American citizens.

#5, no question about it.
I want to see her roasted and then thrown into a cell to cough to death, slowly and cut off from the outside world.

North Dakota contractor says his company can build a 234-mile barrier system along the U.S.-Mexico border for $1.4 billion, significantly less than the $8 billion President Donald Trump is trying to cobble together by declaring a national emergency at the border, the Washington Examiner reported.
Fisher Sand and Gravel CEO Tommy Fisher told the Examiner that his price includes 20 miles of levee wall in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, plus another 214 miles of border wall.
Fisher added that his company could deliver that section of wall, plus paved roads, border technology and a warranty for $4.3 billion.
Fisher told the Examiner that his offer was meant to “break through government bureaucracy” and that the Customs and Border Protection's plans to split the wall into multiple small awards was “not going to cut it.”
Fisher has given previous estimates of between almost $11 billion and $12 billion for 700 miles of a cast-in-place concrete wall along the U.S. border with Mexico. The company was also one of the contractors chosen in August 2017 to build a concrete border wall prototype in San Diego.
Liberals call the wall inmmoral because it keeps illegal immigrants out.
The Senate was voting Friday on whether to consider the House spending bill that designates $5.7 billion for a border wall. The motion required a simple majority to pass, but Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., voted no, giving Republicans a maximum of 50 votes, though Vice President Mike Pence could break a tie. The vote, which stood at 43 in favor, 45 opposed by midafternoon, was being held open for several senators who had already left town and were trying to return. If it fails, it makes a partial government shutdown almost certain.
If the motion passes, the Senate will hold a cloture vote on the spending bill. The cloture vote requires 60 “yeas”—a near impossibility for Republicans who have a 51-seat majority. President Donald Trump met with Senate leaders Friday morning but appeared to stand firm on his promise not to sign a spending bill unless it included the wall funding he demanded. Friday morning, he laid blame for the seemingly inevitable government shutdown at Democrats’ feet, tweeting, “The Democrats now own the shutdown!”

Trumps been playing head games on wall funding. He’s treating it like a business negotiation. This is from memory but I think during the campaign he said he needed around 50 billion.
Then he dropped it to 25 billion .
I figured he was dickering for around 12 billion .
I was wrong and if he had been selling me a car I would’ve paid waaaay to much .
At this point I’m pretty sure all he needs is somewhere around 6 billion and he’s not going to budge.
If the Democrats end up giving him all 6 billion. They can claim a victory because they can’t say they negotiated him down from 25 billion .
The way I look at it those tactics sweetened the pot for tweedle dee and tweedle dumb which gave them a way out .
