Since the mid-19th century, the United States has frequently
employed the U.S. Army on its southern border to perform various
roles in support of the Nation, from outright war, to patrolling
the border, to chasing bandits while securing persons and property
on both sides of the border, and most recently to supporting civil
law enforcement and anti-drug efforts. The military generally
provides support to law enforcement and immigration authorities
along the southern border. Reported escalations in criminal
activity and illegal immigration, however, have prompted some
lawmakers to re-evaluate the extent and type of military support
that occurs in the border region. Events since 9/11, such as the
recent deployment of National Guard Soldiers to the Mexican border,
are only the latest manifestation of this long tradition. This book
reviews the lengthy history of the U.S. Army on the Mexican border
and highlights recurring themes that are relevant to today's
ongoing border security mission. This book consists of public
documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted,
and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to
provide easy access.
