| Securing America's Borders: The Role of the Military
Mason, Chuck R.
Congressional Research Service (CRS), CRS Report for Congress, June 16, 2010, online edition, 10p (PDF)
"Although the military does not have primary responsibility to secure the borders, the Armed Forces generally provide 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 reevaluate the extent and type of military support that occurs in the border region."
