So they hike hundreds of miles to get to the border, and they're going to be deterred by an additional (at most) 20 mile detour to go around it? Doesn't make sense. - 1pg

Rather than patrol a 20 mile stretch of open border with 100 agents, Border Patrol and put 20 agents at each end of the wall segment and greet the immigrants as they come around the ends. The longer it is, the more effective it is.
