1) Almost 90% of the land along the border is privately owned. In the event of the government trying to seize it, they can't do it as a class action. They have to identify the owners of each parcel and negotiate a deal with them or take each to court. Eminent Domain cases can takes months, if not years.

3) 44% of current undocumented people in the country arrived by plane. A wall would simply add to that number.
4) The border is snake like in parts, meaning a straight wall will result in Americans and their property being on the wrong side.
