And your morals involve insecure borders? No one's getting deported.
The implication of your argument is that cameras make borders more secure and therefore it's a good idea to have them. Cameras obviously don't stop people crossing a border physically like a wall would, so the only possible way they'll improve security is by providing evidence of who crossed. Your assertion that "No one's getting deported" is obviously wrong - if that were the case there'd be no need to have the cameras in the first place.

Technically yes. No established residents are being deported, no families are being broken up, no one is hiding from this decades after immigrating.
Some are prevented from entering very near to the time and place of entry. Most people can see a difference.

Deportations are happening at a rapid pace. No, the cameras may not be part of the current deportation / ICE frenzy, but working on them would put the engineer on the side of the Immigration establishment. From that point of view, it's a moral choice even if the specific object in question, a camera, is not immoral on its own.
I can deeply respect anyone who would refuse to aid the current government's immigration policies in any way, and I would refuse to do so myself.

Not paying taxes would help.
That's like refusing to build security cameras because you oppose the death penalty.
