> Gosh, we complain about people coming over the border

You wrote this and it sounded like you were endorsing an implicit open border policy. Did you have some more intermediate solution in mind? Recall that we do presently have a legal pathway for asylum seekers to immigrate to the US.

> Providing security assistance would like like what?

We already do this. US agencies frequently cooperate with their counterparts in Mexico and elsewhere.

No, I'm commenting on the complaints about migrants coming here without acknowledging that we effectively forced them to due to our actions.

Between the War on Drugs and agricultural dumping we have deeply damaged their economies and political stability.

(oh, and let's also not forget how US Big Ag utilizes these vulnerable migrants to maximize their profits).
