“The plan would not only provide the region with border security......”
Okay how? If they are providing locations for the terrorists to destroy, shoot up, or invite the transporting of drugs and illegals into the country, that it can do. The wall was a barrier that could be observed without local manning using different types of detecting devices and was designed to cover many more miles of insecured property. Trusting a limited security team to handle a small, in retrospect, area of the border to spend more efforts to protect the facilities, is not only worthless, it is counterproductive as it creates an illusion of security for the entire border. This is not only stupid, but it breeds more problems. Typical government operation, spending just a part of what they can to do a small percentage of what’s needed/required.
And the flood of crime and mis-spending of citizen’s money to accomplish just the opposite continues. (Except for the liberals voting base needs)

That was my impression too. Security guards for businesses are not CBP agents, so their subjective notion of “heavily guarded” falls flat all at once.
