What you're describing is a civil law enforcement mission, NOT a military mission.
And what follows after that is that the mission will get progressively less clear as time goes on. There will be a few "unfortunate incidents" early on, where a US citizen gets shot because of unclear ROEs. The ROEs will be "clarified," which will in turn make the original mission less clear. (You have to have been in the Big Green Machine to understand how this works.)
Eventually, you will have soldiers being offered bribes--and more than a few taking them. At that point, you might as well write off the USA, because once the military goes bad, it's a hop, skip, and a jump to the final collapse.

According to a recent study conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), more than 700,000 illegal immigrants enter the U.S. per year – resulting in 1,918 per day, 80 per hour and more than 1 per minute. In other words, since the September 11th attack, approximately 481,418 people have entered the U.S. illegally.
With the events of September 11th, in the second session of the 107th Congress, the caucus will no doubt continue to establish the link between open borders, unregulated immigration and the potential for terrorism. In addition, the caucus will push legislative proposals which will help secure America’s borders, including the creation of a comprehensive visa tracking system such as H.R. 3525, and meaningful reform of the INS. Though many members of the caucus continue to support a true guestworker program, most will continue to vehemently oppose any program in the 107th Congress that results in amnesty for illegal immigrants.
The Immigration Reform Caucus was established to review current immigration policy, propose new immigration policies and provide a forum in Congress for addressing the positive and negative consequences of our immigration policies.
During the 107th Congress, the Caucus hopes to focus on three primary areas, illegal immigration, legal immigration and voter reform.
