Gubment has a 60 foot right of way on the entire border.

27 ... President Theodore Roosevelt reserved a 60-foot strip along the international boundary with Mexico for the United States to maintain the area free from obstructions as a protection against the smuggling of goods between the United States and Mexico.

In effect, the Roosevelt easement provided the federal government with a 60-foot border right-of-way on which it could build the fence.
