Nope.

They can probably see everyone that passes the border via eye in the sky anyway.

Raymond is director of the Satellite Sentinel Project (SSP), which aims to use advanced satellite imagery to monitor potential human rights abuses in Sudan. And it was all Clooney's idea, turning him from just another Hollywood liberal with a pet cause to a genuine expert and campaigner on Sudan. Together with John Prendergast, another campaigner, Clooney has sneaked repeatedly into the country to document the random bombing of civilians and other atrocities.
The wall came about when some Mexicans were flexing on the Rogan board.

And the ebola scare

So far, Nigeria and Kenya have set up health stations at land crossings, ports, and airports to check the temperature of travelers whose trips began in the DRC. There are no reports yet of people being turned away if they are feverish, but their itineraries are recorded in case they need to be tracked down afterward. If this outbreak expands, such interruptions to travel could too; seven countries instituted border checks during a small outbreak last year.

Checking people at the border—or even closing borders entirely against travelers from an infected zone—feels intuitively right, an easy solution for keeping disease at bay. (During the 2014-16 epidemic, President Donald Trump—not yet a candidate at that point—called for grounding all flights from West Africa, and said that humanitarian medical personnel who contracted the disease should be left there to die.)
