I think he's concerned with more than our southern border. He's said as much, commenting on our NATO 2% defense budget "commitment".
And say what you want about placing targeted tariffs, it worked. Placing tariffs on a whole bunch of very specific items can add up to a lot regardless of how ridiculous cherry picking any one item may seem. It also doesn't expose you to the unintended consequence of self harm in the process.
