What plane are you flying where you can't easily spot people?
When I fly the Piper 151 or the Cessna 172, I can easily see people on the ground at 500 feet.
If I were flying the border, and I saw someone digging at the wall, I'd call my ground team and have them head to the wall.
You must be a politician who doesn't fly.
But this is remote desert area we are talking about, not downtown Houston. By the time your ground team gets there the wall jumpers will be long gone. And good luck locating them at night.

How long can you dig a tunnel under a wall that goes five feet into the ground?
Cruising at 125 kts allows a plane to spot you before you finish. Once you get on the other side, you're walking at what 3 mph? Jeeps can cover much more ground that that. So after two hours you've made it maybe six miles while I've already landed, refueled and told the guys in the jeeps exactly where you are.
That job would have taken 18 months in TX at 1/3 the price. Under budget and 2 months early.
Love going to Boston where you'll see a Cop anyplace they are filling a pothole. Or the guys sitting in the toll booths when they no longer collect tolls.
Strong Unions. Expensive Boondoggle projects.
Yup, MA requires that a police officer "direct traffic" around any construction area. Nice overtime pay for the cops! And toll takers make over $80K a year (had a girlfriend whose husband was toll taker) BUT, you gotta know somebody.
Your metric was states, not city. (Boston is 23rd) MA dropped from being the 14th largest state by population in 2010 to 15th largest in 2015 according to US Census. It was surpassed by Arizona and soon even Tennessee will be larger. This speaks for itself.
No, my metric was city. Read the link. Oh wait, I forgot: you don't read links. Game over.
