I agree. Property rights are a foundation in our culture and society.

***********************************************
A “great” wall will work for much of the Southern border.

However, in Texas there are areas like the Big Bend that have many natural defenses due to topography, so would only require lesser barriers.

Further East along the border in Texas, ranchers and farmers own the land. The middle of the Rio Grande river is the border. These land owners pump water from the river for their crops and livestock. They have been opposed, so far, to selling off portions of their land and cutting off their access to water for the building of a fence.

Those lands do not belong to the State or the US gov’t., so that presents a problem for whomever is Prez that wants to build the fence.
