The sonoran desert straddles the border and it's under intense surveillance. There are satellites, of course, there are also blimps. Some days they come down low enough you can spot them, if you know where to look, but even when they're so far up you can't see them, they are watching. Internet surveillance is constant and pervasive regardless of location, of course. Finally there are checkpoints, numerous checkpoints both at the border and far, far inland from it, for one more layer of surveillance.
The sensible crossing points already have walls, or at least fences, and more cameras. But even when folks detour way out into the sonoran and cross in the middle of the desert where there is no wall and no guards, you know what happens? Border patrol gets a call from the eye in the sky and they go out in the middle of the desert and pick them up. They bring water and medicine when they do this - that desert is mean and the folks they pick up are typically in bad shape and wind up being rescued as much as intercepted but the point is it happens. It happens because the entire area is under constant surveillance, even if you go around all the walls you don't get in that way. It just gets you a short stay in custody followed by a free bus ride back to the border. This happens constantly.
It's ignorant of you to not grasp this basic fact, something which is known and reported and easily verified if you wanted to do any research.
