Wilderness may or may not have hiding places. It depends on if there are bushes or deep river beds or things like that or rocks, mountains, ravines, caves, trees, water bodies, tall grass, outcroppings, sand dunes (basically anything that's not a parking lot). and some hiding places are better than others, able to sustain more people for a longer time. An air-conditioned building of course is the best hiding place at all A car trunk is the best hiding place, with the help of an accomplice, an illegal can move miles into the country in a matter of minutes. so wherever those are nearby it makes sense to have really high fences and barriers. Barriers?  Do you mean things like walls?  You said all we needed was chain link fences.  What's the point of building the fences really high?  If anyone can easily cut the wire and just walk through, won't they do that rather than climb over?
A lot of the border wilderness doesn't have hiding places.  I didn't realize you've examined the entire border.  How many of those 1,954 miles don't have hiding places?

I was going for a little bit of flair trying to make you think about how many screws are in that thing, but your mind is only fixated on minimizing me and figuring out justifications for ignoring my point of view.
It's ok. Even if you fully understood what was involved in the unicycle on a rope, and what my role was, that doesn't mean I know what happens at the border. But, you don't either.
from beginning to end my only response is that I shouldn't waste time trying to make you understand things that you simply do not want to understand, and rather than feel insulted for your lack of understanding I should simply disengage and feel sorry for you.
