"This administration" is doing more than the three previous administrations combined.

Reagan gave them amnesty, Bush I did nothing, and Clinton did nothing. This administration has allocated more funding than the previous two.

What took decades to develop, ain't going to be fixed in three.

BTW, declaring war is a function of the Congress. Has your boy brought up a declaration of war against Mexico up on the floor?

I mean, he's the one braying about "the invasion".

Face it, he's telling you what you want to hear to keep himself in office.

What are the cultural and historical reasons?

1) When has the US, in wartime or in peace, ever used the US Army to enforce civil law?

2) When has this notion of freedom that drives our form of self-government, included militarizing the borders, during wartime or in peace?

"When has the US, in wartime or in peace, ever used the US Army to enforce civil law?"

1. The Civil War
2. World War I
3. The Veteran Riots in D.C. during the Great Depression.
4. World War II
5. Little Rock, AR - Civil rights enforcement
6. Vietnam War

Give me some more time and I'll get more.

"When has this notion of freedom that drives our form of self-government, included militarizing the borders, during wartime or in peace?"

1. Spanish - American War
2. Pancho Villa incursions
3. World War I
4. World War II

Given some more time, I'm sure I can find more. We deployed heavily on the southern border during the world wars because we could not trust the Mexican government to keep out German infiltrators. Gee, what a shock.
