To secure certain areas a wall or barrier will be needed for sure.

We already have 700 miles of fencing and barriers.

What Border Agents Say They Want (It’s Not a Wall)
President Trump in San Diego last week to inspect prototypes for a border wall. Days after his inauguration last year, Mr. Trump ordered construction to begin immediately on a wall.


WASHINGTON — President Trump has called for a wall along the border with Mexico to stop undocumented immigrants and drugs from entering the United States. But Border Patrol agents on the front lines say they need more technology and additional personnel to curb the illegal traffic, according to a report released on Thursday by Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security Committee.

The report was based on internal Customs and Border Protection documents from the 2017 fiscal year. It concluded that less than one half of 1 percent of the agents’ suggestions to secure the Southwest border mentioned the need for a wall.

JimLur, JimLur, bottom line Hillary's border security plan incorporating technology in remote areas was better than the physical 'wall all the way' promise of Trump's.

Basically, Donald Trump's Border Wall Already Exists

Trump's wall will end up more like the border security set-up Hillary was in favor of than the wall he promised that even he himself now is retreating from.

Do you know what the question was which came up with your 80% figure?
