How should the United States secure the Mexican border?
<|assistant|>
The United States should secure the Mexican border by investing in physical barriers and increased manpower along the length of the border. In addition, the Department of Homeland Security should increase intelligence gathering and deploy technology such as surveillance, detection, and monitoring systems to better secure the border and deter illegal activity. Additionally, the US government should pursue bilateral efforts with the Mexican government to better cooperate in securing the border, such as by implementing the Mérida Initiative, which is a security cooperation agreement to reduce and prevent illegal flow of people and drug trafficking.
