Original Note:
The border wall requires large gates to prevent flash floods. Since it is often in very remote places without electricity, Border Patrol opens the gates & leave them open for months during the rainy season. Agents increase their patrol frequency near them to compensate. https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/trumps-border-wall-vulnerable-to-flash-floods-needs-large-storm-gates-left-open-for-months/2020/01/30/be709346-3710-11ea-bb7b-265f4554af6d_story.html
