There are less armed government employees on the entire BORDER than there are in the largest burrough of New York city. NYPD is 50,000 cops and the largest of the five burrough has 25,000.
Congress mandates 21,000 border patrol agents, but in reality the number is about two thirds of that. How the fuck are they supposed to do their job?
Even if all of the national guard in the country went to the border, it would have trouble sealing it without some kind of series of barriers plus minefields.
