Newly confirmed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin arrived at the Pentagon on Friday to take on a lengthy national security to-do list, including a decision on whether to pull thousands of troops from backup duty at the border wall.

President Joe Biden, shortly after taking the oath of office Wednesday, issued a proclamation to halt funding and construction of the border wall and lifted the national emergency declared by former President Donald Trump that has allowed the deployment of thousands of active-duty and National Guard troops to southwestern states since April 2018.

In ending the national emergency, Biden set the stage for the eventual withdrawal of troops that have been assisting the Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, said Dr. Robert Sanders, chairman of the National Security Department at the University of New Haven.

I think they should keep them there and use them sort of like sky caps at airports.  They could help illegals carry whatever baggage they have into the US, could provide rides so illegals don't have so far to walk, pass out money so illegals have enough to get drunk or high on, make sure that any food illegals get is Mexican cuisine.

Your post above is in jest, but before too long I wouldn't be surprised to see almost just what you predict actually happen...
