To do the shit work that ICE and CBP don't want to or are not capable of doing...mainly because of a failure in DHS to provide what is needed...mechanics to maintain vehicles, personnel to monitor drones, pilots and helicopters to patrol assigned areas!!!

The money that DHS has taken from other agencies is being funneled to build internment camps with a nest egg to build his damn wall, especially now that Congress won't be funding it!

And this gives that small percentage of corrupt and compromised CBP agents time to work look outs for the cartels and human traffickers!!!

Once again the US military is being used by the civilian government...not to defend the country, but to impress the people too stupid to have a clue!!!
