Originally posted by aldra A wall itself is only part of it - ideally it'd be made of something difficult to cut or crash through with a deterrent like spikes or razorwire on the top - but in terms of stopping people, a wall only slows them down. A border enforcement team is still required to stop people from breaking through it.
Like the recently-built Crimea-Ukraine wall, the point isn't to stop people by virtue of it being there, it has sensors every few hundred metres so that base camp is notified when someone tries to climb or damage it, so that soldiers or border enforcement can be dispatched. Both components are required if you can't either build a completely impervious wall or want to spread your enforcement team thin and keep them in a perpetually aggressive posture
It would be trivially easy to set off thousands of false alerts at the border and make it impossible for border security to respond to them reliably. The border with Mexico is motherfucking massive -

This. If you aren't prepared to shoot people at the border (within reason, not suggesting shooting lost hikers or anything) you don't have a border. -
