Sometimes I think that you may be accurate, but any time you pipe in on border security you are against it. Why? Do you not know that our border is a Drug Cartel business? Nobody comes that doesn't pay Cartel. Women take birth control because they know they are going to be raped by Cartel in order to enter. Cartel hold certain US lands along the border, and they are no go zones for American citizens. Its too dangerous.
So I have to ask myself knowing the dangers that are along the border why anyone would oppose a barrier that would keep them off of their land? What's the benefit of strangers using your property as a path to the U.S.? Other people who have land along the border have expresses many scary situations. Fearing for their lives.

FALFURRIAS, Texas — While walking along a dirt road bordering his property, a South Texas farmer complained about living in fear of Mexican traffickers smuggling drugs and illegal immigrants across his land. He would later ask his visitor not to reveal his identity, for his safety and that of his family.
"I'm a citizen of the United States. This is supposedly sovereign soil, but right now it's anybody's who happens to be crossing here," he said. "I'm a little nervous being here right now. Definitely don’t come down here after dark."
The farmer said a federal law enforcement agent told him to buy a bulletproof vest to use while working in his fields. Whenever he goes out to survey his agricultural operations, he always tells his office where he is headed, and he has purchased a high-powered rifle.
"One of the basic points of the federal government is to protect the people of this nation to secure the border, and they're not doing that," he complained.

I don't know how he is getting away with it on these private lands. A wall/fence is only good if it is complete. I am also not sure that the metal is good enough. They are cutting holes now. They need additional technology to signal when the wall is in danger of being breeched. Motion?
I applaud Trump in designating Cartel terrorists. They are. Anyone with human compassion would applaud the move. In Mexico people live in fear. And it is taking control on United States also.
