They could run a temporary barbed wire wall like the one between Libya and Egypt in the 1930s, to stop the current flow of invaders, then go bad and put the main wall up with the barbed wire one for a backup.

They did. This is the first of the permanent Trump-style barrier system.

They strung at least 6 miles worth of barbed wire barrier, as well as using shipping containers as a temporary barrier.

Texas actually has a much bigger program to do that (as part of Operation Lone Star), then I was aware of, before you mentioned it.

Two miles of the fencing (out of the 6 emplaced so far) has been put up in the past two weeks in rural Starr County east of Rio Grande City. Agreements have been signed for about 63 more miles, and almost 200 more miles are in negotiation. Additionally, they have a surge capability to emplace several miles worth within hours, in case of "caravan" style assaults.

This is a serious Program.

Barbed wire fence is what they are replacing, and those fences don’t work unless backed up with claymores and remotely operated machine guns ...

He’s had six years to start. He’s only begun now because we’re getting tired of him. Guess this will be a slow build.
