The Trump administration is working on a plan to create what conservatives have long demanded: a militarized buffer zone along the southern border in New Mexico that would be occupied by active-duty US troops, empowered to detain migrants who cross into the United States unlawfully, the Washington Post reports.

According to the Post, recent internal discussions have centered on deploying troops to a section of the border in New Mexico that would be turned into a kind of military installation, which would give the soldiers a legal right to detain migrants who “trespass” on the elongated base. Unauthorized migrants would then be held until they can be turned over to immigration officers.

Military detention camp. Great.
 
The effort would enable the most significant use yet of active-duty forces at the border under Trump, though any move to militarize the southern border’s buffer zone is certain to raise questions about whether employing the military in this way runs afoul of the Posse Comitatus Act, a federal law that prohibits active-duty troops from most law enforcement missions.

I don't think it will be detention camp. They just get turned around and sent back. As they should.

If Mexico refuses to accept them, then trump will have to hold them somewhere. Remember, these are not Mexicans.

Irrelevant. If they’re at the New Mexico border the assumption is that they arrived through Mexico. So they were in Mexico illegally. It’s up to them now to deport them.

Mexico does not have to take anyone they do not want to.
