The previous administration literally forced ICE to pull fences and barriers down to let illegal immigrants cross the border.

Perhaps, actions like that could have opposite reactions like… IDK… A majority of voters overwhelmingly selecting The Mass Deportations Guy?

Are you talking about the razor wire that the supreme court allowed the administration to remove from the Texas border? If so, a little disingenuous to say fences and barriors when talking about razor wire. If not, please cite your sources so we can all be informed.

Razor wire is a type of fence and barrier. But more importantly, why did the Biden administration fight in court for their right to remove razor wire from the Texas border? What does that action suggest about the attitude of the Biden administration towards people crossing the border illegally?

		Sure, but I would consider mines laid in a strait a barrier or fence, and I would consider the radiation at Chernobyl a barrier to entry, and I would consider a hedgerow a barrier or fence as well. I think it's important to specify the type of barrier or fence when discussing the removal of it, it's a long gray spectrum and not black and white. It it generally legal in the USA to put a fence around my property, but it is not generally legal to put razor wire around my property, so even the US govt thinks there's a difference. It's important to consider the words and the portrayal of events when discussing politically charged topics.
