Can the President just station troops on the Southern border?

This makes more sense than a wall.

The President is the Commander-in-Chief and can station troops on the border, and I believe he's already done this.

Incrementalism. Nasty. Insidious. The public is very malleable, pliable. We’ve been desensitized to mass shootings on a regular basis. We’ve been desensitized to endless wars of occupation that economically cannibalize society at home. We’ve been desensitized to the power of the state to murder unarmed citizens in the streets, and now in their homes and on the job, with impunity. We’ve been desensitized to the incarceration and separation of nonviolent families into for profit holding pens and corporate for profit prisons with corporate convict labor leasing. We’ve been desensitized to our government supporting three quarters of the world’s military dictatorships. We’ve been desensitized to partnering in genocide with a nation who butchers and liquefies a critical journalist and conducts public square beheadings. We’ve been desensitized to twenty two veterans per day committing suicide from “serving” in seven hot active shooting wars in Muslim majority countries with no plan other than to occupy.

So now we should be ready to take the next step and desensitize them to deploying the military out into society and constructing holding facilities on american soil that will ostensibly only ever be used for dirty scary brown people.

We're one "terrorist" event from becoming a full fledged police state and the public cries out to be walled in by the corporate state.

Lots of bleeding heart mumbo-jumbo with no consideration of economic principles...I think what you meant was “we’ve become pussified”....we’ve tolerated nutless cowards in office, those whom have ignored their promises made under oath, those scared to carry out the will of the people and afraid to enforce our laws and defend our right to sovereignty. You’re absolutely right.
