Santa Cruz county has large portions of wall and is heavily monitored. There are checkpoints at Agua Linda, Amado and Hwy 286. These and roving Border Patrol are the real threat to smugglers, not a wall. A wall is a waste of money. Manpower is the solution, not that I advocate more militarization of the border region. I advocate making work permits and citizenship easier to obtain.

I don't know the locations, I just know parts are layered and this new bill covers adding to what they have and making more of it up to 3 layers deep. I would assume not all parts will be 3 layers.
Without a wall you have an open area that can be crossed at any point... with at least one layer people will avoid crossing the wall with a 15-20 foot drop, go up the wall and come out in an area that can be better monitored with the forces they have rather than covering an extreme open area that they can't cover at all.
Check points stop human trafficking... border patrol can't monitor 80% of the desert.
