You know, even a fence with gaps would funnel people into zones where they could be apprehended. So even a fence with gaps would work better than a virtual fence.

Oh, this whole business of a fence/wall & illegals is so ridiculous.
“IF” Bush had “gotten on the stick” and deployed the Corps of Engineers to BOTH borders after 9/11, had them build a fences/walls and deployed troops to guard those installations;
this whole business would have been rectified by now.
But, Mexico evidently has Bush in their “back pocket” so we’ll just have to badger McCain to finish the job next year. The savings from deporting incarcerated foreigners and deporting illegal aliens will more than pay for the walls/fences on BOTH borders in the first year!

That's called shaping the battlefield, in military terms. And that is exactly what DHS has planned right now; they are not planning on putting up 2000 miles of wall along the southern border.
