Look at it this way:

What part of securing the borders is the hardest part to pull off? I for one think it was getting the military down there. Building a wall can be done with or without the Feds help. So can we assume that 50% of the physical border problem, if this is what the president is going to do, is solved?

No this doesn't deal with the people that are here, which is a whole other component, but having the troops there may go a long way.

I think that is the easiest and also the method most vulnerable to manipulation. Stationing some troops in a remote area where illegals don't even go sounds good but won't do anything to secure the border.

Building the wall is something tangible and immune to manipulation.

Unfortunately, much of the land is owned by the feds, and any patriot who wants to stop the invasion would be guilty of "trespassing." Sickening, isn't it?
