Military Support to Law Enforcement Agencies Along the United States Southwestern Border

Abstract

Military support to law enforcement agencies is a key piece in solving the problems that exist along the southwestern border of the United States. Military support along the southwestern border has existed since the initial westward expansion of the United States. Changes that have occurred since initial support pertain to the regulations and authorities that the military operates within, supported agencies, and the threat itself. With the decrease in U.S. military forces in Iraq in the next year, there should be an increase in the support they give to law enforcement agencies along the southwestern border. This increase alone will not solve the problem, but other measures taken in coordination with this measure will greatly increase the probability of improving conditions along the southwestern border.
