Half-mile drug-smuggling tunnel connecting Tijuana to San Diego shut down by Border Patrol

3. BP has asked for more/better surveillance equipment down here to help them do their job

Some 'towers' (tall metal posts really) have been installed with cameras near here in recent years. And the nearby US Army Fort has had extra people sent in (with heavy vehicles) to help BP patrol.

But the pols looking for photo ops and talking points for campaigns like 'solutions' that are flashy, even tho they aren't effective. Really, the GOP pols don't seem to actually be interested in solving the problems.

As an aside, a gun shop in Cochise County was busted for using 'straw buyers' to get around bans on selling guns to people with criminal convictions, AND selling to gun runners who get weapons to the cartels just over the border. Guns and ammo going south from the US is a problem. Drugs coming north is a problem. Both problems are due to Americans behaving badly, NOT asylum seekers.
