For a period in the 1990s, US Army personnel were stationed along the U.S.-Mexico border to help stem the flow of illegal immigrants and drug smugglers.

These military units brought their specialized equipment such as FLIR (forward looking infrared) devices and helicopters. ..... they would deploy along the border and, for a brief time, there would be no traffic across that border which was actively watched by “coyotes” paid to assist border crossers.

The smugglers and the alien traffickers simply ceased operations over the one hundred mile sections of the border sealed at a time. It was very effective ...but temporary... as the illegal traffic resumed as soon as the military withdrew.
