Mexico also has an incredibly narrow southern border. It was very smart of Team Trump to get Mexico to deal with this months ago.

100 ISIS Terrorists Caught in Guatemala as Central American Caravan Heads to U.S.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3697918/posts
In a startling revelation, Guatemala’s president announced in the country’s largest newspaper that nearly 100 ISIS terrorists have been apprehended in the impoverished Central American nation. Why should Americans care about this? A caravan of Central American migrants is making its way north. [snip]
[Remember when Spain was struck by islamo-terrorists right before an election? The multiple train bombings. I wonder if this is one reason why Trump was so concerned. And could there be more ISIS terrorists still in that caravan?]
How about this deal: would it surprise anyone with a clue that Trump already has an agreement with Mexico in hand that allows for US troops to assist Mexico in protecting its *southern* border?
Nah, that 4D nonsense is just made up fantasy. The US has hundreds of military bases strategically placed around the globe, including many where we provide defense against possible invasion. But to apply those standards to a geographic neighbor and key link to controlling our actual border? Bah, we're doomed I say, doomed unless we mount automated machine guns and mow down the invaders.
What Trump is doing is so obvious, it's actually sort of painful to observe some who don't get it. Bad optics? Move it to MX. Narrow border? Move it to MX. Bad scenario ie refugees? Turn the narrative around to helping defend a country (MX) who has requested assistance.
