Reality is that narcotics and BATFE agents can and are bought by drug and gun cartels. However, a border fence, being inanimate, is a bit less susceptible to a bribe. Even a vehicle barrier would do a lot to curb illegal trade in guns and drugs by making it more difficult to simply drive across the border in many areas, and would not hurt native wildlife.
