You realize that most “public land” is off limits to, or heavily restricted from, the public?
Care to elaborate? I know some public land is bordered completely by private.
I had to revisit that one.
9.52mill acres of public land is inaccessible due to being bordered by private lands.
There is 640million acres of federal public land, that does not include state land.
So it’s hardly “most” land is inaccessible. But 9.5mill is definitely a large amount of land by anyone’s definition.
There has been some tremendous progress on getting back access to those landlocked public land areas.

Enter via Clouds Rest? I bet you could hike and camp relatively stealthily to the point that rangers wouldn't know any better.
Bears might be a different story though.
Under military control.
Do we want our military directly controlling border territory? What are the unintended consequences? What precedent is this setting?
To build a wall for border security, not to emplace artillery to site in on Mexico or to keep Americans from getting out. .
Surf Beach in Lompoc is publicland and is closed to the public all summer.
There is an endless supply of examples where public land is closed or has restricted access.
No goal posts moved at all.
