The fence image you posted is between Israel and the Egyptian Sinai and is one of the places where they recently found hundreds of sophisticated tunnels under the wall. So your claim of almost no terrorists getting through is demonstrably false.

Palestinians also regularly use ladders to go over or sledgehammers and blowtorches to go through holes in the West Bank wall.

Perfection is a straw man.

Rarely, but sometimes, folks jump the fence at the White House.

Do you think they should tear it down?

Does a Border Fence Work? Check Out the Dramatic Change After Israel Put One Up

Nov. 11, 2013

Israel’s Population, Immigration, and Borders Authority has released dramatic statistics reflecting how effective the construction of a border fence has been at stemming the entry of illegal migrants seeking to cross the border from Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.

According to the government, the number of illegal entries has declined from the thousands in each recent year to just several dozen this year.

In January, Israel finished building the main portion of the 16-foot high fence, which is made of razor wire and reinforced by military surveillance, including motion sensors and cameras, aimed at keeping out both illegal African migrants and terrorists operating in the Sinai.

According to the most recent quarterly figures published by the Population, Immigration and Borders Authority, 36 people have been caught trying to enter the southern border since January.

It’s an incredible drop after 10,440 were caught in 2012, 17,298 in 2011 and 14,715 in 2010. In the years before that, the numbers were lower but still in the thousands. Beyond the 36 people who were caught at the border during 2013, another 59 who successfully crossed into Israel were detained by immigration authorities elsewhere in the country.
