Exactly. There are not enough. You would have to place them at least within sight of each other to be somewhat effective and then they would have to work shifts

No you wouldn't. They'd use UAV's for surveillance and on call quick reaction teams for interdiction. Or they could just use Apaches and F-16s, but I don't think we're ready to go that far yet.

I don't think even that would work because of the distances between reaction forces, it would still require too many troops.

On top of that we don't have the politicians with the bullocks to put the troops there or build a wall.
