Trump's military structure on the border is expanding

In the past four months, the Pentagon has sent thousands of combat troops and armored stryker fighting vehicles to the southwestern border to confront what President Trump explained on his first day of office was an “invasion” of migrants, drug cartels and smugglers.

This is not all yet. The military has also sent U-2 spy spy frugals, surveillance drones, helicopters and even two warships of the Navy to monitor the borders and coasts at the clock.

The structure of forces underlines how Mr. Trump, with the practice of his predecessors, mainly breaks through missions along the border between the USA and Mexico, on a small number of soldiers and reservists active service. Around 2,500 troops with active service were at the end of the bidet management at the border. Now there is about 8,600.

During a recent visit to troops in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, the border was pretty quiet. The intersections, which declined sharply in the decreasing months of the bidges, have decreased even further since the Trump administration declared its goal to maintain the surgical control of the border with Mexico “100 percent”. In April after the illegal crossing of around 128,000 people in the previous year, the US government was arrested.

Nevertheless, for the military mission at the border that the Pentagon says, there is no end in sight in sight, which has so far cost 525 million US dollars.

The missions continue to grow in size, scope and sophistication, even if the debate on the advantages and disadvantages continues, and the military is expanding its territorial authorities to support migrants in the forbidness.
