Then whats the point of spending 12 million per week or month to “shore” up the border? Just tear down all existing fences and disband the border guard.
Leave bus ticket and water vending machines there.
Consider it a protest like Jimrob and others are doing, to raise awareness.
It is of value even if it will not actually send one illegal back presently.
As I understand the intent, the National Guard will primarily be partrolling with Texas DPS in rural areas where the cartel, gang, and terrorist action is.
In previous border security operations, they have been fired upon, returned fire, and driven the invaders back across the Rio Grande.
