    Pentagon Weighs 'Wholesale Redesign' of Border Security

    After a tour of the U.S.-Mexico border Saturday by top defense officials, Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan hinted at a "wholesale redesign" of border security, The Washington Times reported.
    "How do we get out of treating the symptoms and get at the root of the issue?" Shanahan told the Times.


    "I don't want to just add resources and not fix the problem."


    Shanahan suggested the Pentagon can contribute expertise in surveillance and monitoring, according to the report.


    As the Pentagon weighs diverting billions of dollars for President Donald Trump's border wall, top defense officials toured sections of the U.S.-Mexico border Saturday to see how the military could reinforce efforts to block drug smuggling and other illegal activity.
