L Passo, Texas (Border Report) The United States continues to send resources to the borders of the United States and Mexico, and even some of them on the sea.
This week, the US Coast Guard called on correspondents to find out how to stop other ships suspected of smuggling migrants.

The supposed smuggling boat leader was a doll called “Oscar”, who was shot with pepper balls.
The border report correspondent, Salvador Rivera, watched from another boat, as he learned that the American Coast Guard “doubled three times” his resources and employees to fight marine crimes, especially the smuggling of migrants.
“We guaranteed three times the amount of Coast Guard assets on the southern border,” said Peter Nelson, an officer in charge of the Coast Guard station in San Diego. “This has happened in the past two months.”
In those past two months, the border report noted a significant increase in the coast guard compensation reports off the San Diego coast. Here are some modern titles from the Border Report News partners in San Diego, Fox 5/Kusi:

On dry lands hundreds of miles from the Pacific Ocean, reinforcements came in the form of 19 tons vehicles and wheels known as Strykes.
The M1126 Stryker of the US Army, one of the first first two was deployed on the border, was shown on the top of a hill in Senland Park, New Mexico, a hot point for smuggling migrants.
