No laws restricting the land owner from fencing any way they choose.
Problem being that if the land owner next to your property does not fence in the same manner, they just go around it.

What is the solution? Have the government pay for the entire fence? What happens when you have someone on the border that does not want the fence...regardless of who pays for it? Imminent domain to build the fence? Just curious about the practical implications of the fence...
I'm not convinced a wall or fence will do anything except cut off access to the river by Americans. At best it will divert the problem to other areas.
We already know that the Mexican coyotes and drug smugglers are expert at digging tunnels under the border.
And even if we somehow prevent that, all any Mexican needs to do is catch a plane to Canada and enter from the north. For what they pay coyotes to smuggle them, I don't know why they are not doing that already. Maybe they are.
And then there are thousands of miles of unguarded coastline where illegals could simply unload and walk freely onshore.
I think the people who believe a fence will end illegal immigration haven't really thought this through.
