I've seen borders working fine. For example in Israel. Hungary seems to be doing well also. I don't believe in this rhetoric that borders don't work.

Back when I was a small boy, almost every month there was some bombing going on in Israel. These attacks have been greatly reduced by several measures, including the building of the wall.

Can you imagine a wall all around France ‽

As for the second par of your argument, I don't know the context but to me it seems more of a correlation than a causation.
