For some reason, this reminds me of the
Rabbit Proof Fence in West Australia.
Or the one in Queensland, Australia. Or the
Dingo Fence. Australia has a real history of building giant long fences to try to stop pest animals.
The fences haven't been 100% successful, but they seem to have helped other control measures by slowing migration of new animals. Of course, animal population models are very hard to apply to humans, since our reaction to a fence is more than "try to climb it or dig under it". Often it's "get 50 friends and knock it all down" or even "hire that one expert and blow it up".
