I think you have it somewhat backwards, Mike. If you have a sensible immigration/migrant system, there is less need for border security because people will opt for the less-risky legal system. Right now, we have a seriously contorted system, so it's easier to just dash across the border than wait potentially decades to get your case heard (my SIL is still waiting after 10 years...she's doing it legally).

Of course, this is just a broad stroke. There are all the nuances about asylum that we discussed 10 or so months ago, and the various treaty obligations that entails. Last I knew, that was the majority of people streaming across our border. Not workers trying to remain undetected.
