Question: Which structure currently operates as a "virtual fence:"  Boarder Wall or Mexico-United States Barrier?

The Mexico–United States barrier is a series of walls and fences along the Mexico–United States border aimed at preventing illegal crossings from Mexico into the United States.  The barrier is not one continuous structure, but a grouping of relatively short physical walls, secured in between with a "virtual fence" which includes a system of sensors and cameras monitored by the United States Border Patrol.  As of January 2009, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that it had more than 580 mi of barriers in place.  The total length of the continental border is 1,989 mi . <SEP> The Border War, or the Border Campaign, refers to the military engagements which took place in the Mexico-United States border region of North America during the Mexican Revolution.  The Bandit War in Texas was part of the Border War.  From the beginning of the Mexican Revolution in 1910, the United States Army was stationed in force along the border and on several occasions fought with Mexican rebels or federals.  The height of the conflict came in 1916 when revolutionary Pancho Villa attacked the American border town of Columbus, New Mexico.  In response, the United States Army, under the direction of General John J. Pershing, launched an expedition into northern Mexico, to find and capture Villa.  Though the operation was successful in finding and engaging the Villista rebels, and in killing Villa's two top lieutenants, the revolutionary himself escaped and the American army returned to the United States in January 1917.  Conflict at the border continued however and the United States launched several more smaller operations into Mexican territory until after the American victory in the Battle of Ambos Nogales, leading to the establishment of a permanent border wall.  Conflict was not only subject to Villistas and Americans; "Maderistas", "Carrancistas", "Constitutionalistas" and Germans also engaged in battle with American forces during this period. <SEP>  The strike called for immigrants not to go to work, to avoid spending money, and keep children home from school.  People took part to show the importance of immigrants to the economy and also to protest possible racial profiling of U.S. citizens by immigration enforcement.  The strike was planned on social media. Day Without Immigrants (or A Day Without Immigrants) was a protest and boycott that took place on February 16, 2017, to demonstrate the importance of immigration, and to protest President Donald Trump's plans to build a border wall and to potentially deport millions of illegal immigrants.  People first started talking about the strike after the Women's March, and as the idea gained momentum, important people in the restaurant industry helped boost exposure. <SEP> The Panama Canal fence was not a name used by the citizens of the Canal Zone.  It was a low fence, for the majority of its length, part of it chain link.  It sat atop a retaining wall alongside a short stretch of a busy highway, the Fourth of July Avenue.  The fence was located across the street from the border of the Republic of Panama, within the Canal Zone.  It was similar to the fences one might see along major highways in the United State and elsewhere in the world, It was constructed concurrent with the widening of the adjacent roadway which started in 1960 with the construction of the Thatcher Ferry Bridge.  The fence was designed to prevent pedestrians from falling off the high retaining wall into the busy street.  Parts of the fence still exist today or have been replaced with newer fence.  The Canal Zone extended beyond the fence, across Fourth of July Avenue and across the sidewalk on the Panama side, all the way up to the edge of the buildings there.  This invisible line between the sidewalk and the buildings was the actual border between the Canal Zone and Panama.  The United States maintained the avenue and the sidewalks on both sides as they were inside the Zone.
