Sure, they worry about the trespassers.

But, I think landowners are smart enough to realize that something like a 20 foot wall is not going to stop anyone.

All you need is a ladder or a shovel

Worry about trespassers is a bit disingenuous. Ranchers in Texas face huge economic costs associated with illegal immigrants ranging from destruction of property to potential lawsuits from people dying on their land.

I don't know how tall the wall will actually be, but it's been reported to be 55 ft tall and buried deep into the ground. So that will require a really big ladder and a lot of digging.

The simple point is, the wall, where properly enforced, acts as a much bigger deterrent than an open border or no no enforcement on the existing wall. In addition, turning over more authority (via law) to private property owners could alleviate trespassing.
