Ah border security...
The US Mexico border is just short of two thousand miles long... The Mexico side has access to money and as much equipment they want and cartels who can build what they like a monetise it...
So I want to do a comparsion...
"The Egypt-Palestine border, also called Egypt–Gaza border, is the 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) long border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip. There is a buffer zone along the border which is about 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) long. The Rafah Border Crossing is the only crossing point between Egypt and the Gaza Strip."

There are 100s of tunnels and Isreal have a buffer zone between them... Tunnel detection equipment which Isreal are the world leaders at.. is pretty crap and very expensive... It claims a lot but IDF guys just laugh...
There is also the wall, sorry but that was just a bad joke... Buffer zones and fencing are effective in build up areas with more border patrols...
In deserts and sparse areas, drones with thermal are far more effective and a preference for by boarder patrol..
But the basic problem is that the demand is far too high... South of the border there a countries which are failed states mainly due to US drug money and guns... They are simply too dangerous to live... Security cuts from the US during the Trump administration didn't help.
The stunning development came late Friday night.

This made their countries even more dangerous and want (and some cases need) to get out..
US gave aid before not due to war on drugs but because they knew the drug cartels were way too financed and armed illegally from the US..
Couple of points:
The top five purchasers of U.S. goods exports in 2022 were: Canada ($356.5 billion), Mexico ($324.3 billion), China ($150.4 billion), Japan ($80.2 billion), and the United Kingdom ($76.2 billion).
They are also the third highest importer...
Mexico makes a lot of components which are assembled in the US, closing the border would cause huge job losses in US. It is $2 billion a day.
U.S. goods and services trade with Mexico reached $678 billion last year or $1.85 billion per day.
