It'll be a fence:

Looking at how very different the Senate and House approach the illegal immigration issue, it's hard to see how they can arrive at a compromise regarding the status of those currently in the country. The House wants penalties and expulsion. The Senate wants a road to citizenship for most that are already here. How does one find middle ground?

That leaves the fence. It's passive. It doesn't address the issue of immigrants here, only those trying to get in. It may be mostly for show, but it is something. It wouldn't be surprising if the only substantial element the two chambers of Congress can agree on will be a fence.
