Most of the people who live in the border area and vote have ancestry who lived in the area dating back to 1848, when the US first took that land from Mexico. 
As for the illegal immigrants, by now they are all over the country. They go where the work is.

What about the people impacted by eminent domain when they expand a freeway and put a huge sound barrier wall in their back yard? Do they earn your sympathy too or does this only apply the the US/Mexico border?

Highways facilitate commerce and commerce facilitates the creation of wealth. People involved with creating wealth might earn good wages and save up money to become tourists.
A wall may be necessary to preserve wealth in hostile or difficult times, but, it doesn't create wealth, and anyways this isn't one of those times.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
