As usualy the great General George S. Patton nails it again.
Although he was speaking of an attacking army. In such a case especialy with modern weapons fixed fortifications are pretty pointless. But against bare foot imigrants in a desert a wall can work well enough. Remember you don't need to stop 100% of the traffic, never will. But you certainly could stop 95%+ with a good wall.
