Pretty sure border security does fall under the executive branch.
Obama, for all his good social policies, had a much harder stance on foreign policy than I think was needed. I don't believe the failing TSA is the reason we don't have many transit-related terrorist attacks in the USA.
Not to mention, a large majority of the US population is xenophobic and/or racist. Giving the appearance of relaxing border security (even though it's been shown to be completely ineffective as-is), would be a poor political move.
Considering one of Trump's campaign promises was to build a wall between the US and Mexico - I doubt he's going to make things better.
