65. Your math is fuzzy.
While our country is vast, people don't live in most of it. Our border surrounds the entire mass, however. How is that a smaller area to patrol?

If there are criminals living in the unpopulated places right now, we wouldn't know it anyway. However, most crime requires a victim, so most criminals live where other people do. These populated areas already have law enforcement agencies who are familiar with the area and the people living there. They are much more likely to catch a criminal than a couple of guys in a truck who drive along a fence in the desert (especially when immigrants can spot the truck).

The people in your neighborhood sound scared to me, not rational.
