I don't think so. The number of people who legally cross the border into the US every day from Mexico is quite large. I'd wager there's a far larger risk from legal travel which will be by air and vehicle and has the potential to get deeper into the US much more quickly. If they close the border it would be this traffic they're trying to stop.
That's not to say that we can't do a better job at illegal immigration enforcement, just that I don't think the Pandemic will cause a huge outcry.
