We just had a candidate that flamed out in the race for the GOP nomination speak with approval of an electrified fence. I have never claimed this to be the majority position on the right (it isn't; about 40% of GOPers support restriction ist policies), but if you think immigration restrictionists aren't in love with the idea of walling off the border you're in denial.

I never disputed that many people want to secure the border. I disputed that "people who want to militarize the border with Mexico [...] explicitly hold[...] it [the Berlin wall] up as a model."

Per your own comment, you are ignoring some sources, including those which present counterexamples. In any case, I suggest you back up from this indivudal tree and take a look at the whole wood.
