    According to Hall and Coyne (2013), the Constitution has no provisions that have expressly authorized use of the military to implement the rule of law, and the exception of using the military was adopted in face-saving situations.

    The fight to control illegal immigration, trafficking, and terrorism is a continual effort of the United States and others as they consider human rights and a law enforcement approach to control the borders. In 2014, US Customs and Border Protection ran an ad called “Dangers Campaign” in South America as a mass outreach to warn people of the dangers of migration (Kaneti & Assis, 2016, p. 296).
