Much more Border Patrols are needed for US - Mexico border to be effective

Types

Quotes that support the claim

Despite these clear material impacts on the lives of migrants, millions of people globally continue to cross borders without authorization—meaning walls are relatively ineffective. The first reason is that on longer borders, it is extremely difficult to fence the entire length and adequately guard it. Building fencing or a wall also entails acquiring the necessary land, building and maintaining roads, and supplying the necessary manpower to guard the barrier. The U.S.-Mexico border only has fencing over one-third of its 1,969-mile length

In order for the US-Mexico border wall to be as successful as those of Israel, Egypt, and Spain, many changes to the proposal would have to be made. First, the United States would have to greatly increase the size of its Border Patrol in order to respond to breaches in the wall efficiently, given its immense length.
