Due to the conflict in the Middle East, less attention has been paid to the United States and Mexcio border. The recent escalation in border violence and attacks on Border Patrol agents is senseless and fatal. The armed forces that were stationed in the Middle East should be put along our own border in order to protect our country from illegal immigration as well as provide a second line of defense for the already-strapped Border Patrol agents. The exponential increase in illegal immigrants into the United States is harmful to the economy, education as well as the Border Patrol agents who face life and death everyday. These are the reasons that the armed forces that have been stationed in the Middle East should now be put along the United States- Mexico border.
