Trump’s boots on the border crap looks good, but it won’t solve the why people are trying to get in. To do that would require undoing decades of CIA meddling in Latin America, and frankly money to help fix the systemic issues that caused. I’ll leave 6 quick links below on that history.
Fair point on the troops.
In regards to why the wouldn’t do this before, they wouldn’t do it before because it won’t do shit to be frank. They have caved to the US via phone call, notably during Biden’s administration in order to lighten the number of migrants reaching the border.
