How can we better secure our borders? Drug cartels are commanding vast areas of US territory. Do we use the National Guard?

I think we use everything we can that is at our disposal.

I rather like Donald Trumps idea of building a wall especially if he gets Mexico to pay for it!
In all seriousness border patrol needs to be equipped with the right tools and given the authority to deport people as needed instead of giving tickets out for court appearances and then releasing the individuals to never be seen again. I'm all for people coming here legally but we need to make sure that's how people got here. Chances are we will never have a 100% solution but we can do better.
