The election is coming, so it's time to pretend you're doing something about stopping the invasion of immigrants! The Panamaniac president has been enlisted to try and shut down the Darien Gap jungle bushwacking hike the migrants from South America have to traverse on their way up to the land of Good & Plenty. This is the narrow 60 mile isthmus that connects NA & SA, which has never had a road built, specifically because they've never wanted it to be easy to move military equipment between the two continents.
How successful they will be in plugging this hole remains to be seen, but it won't stop the migration. They'll just start using more boats. May slow it for a while though, and it's politically expedient to do it.
