The Mexican 10k troops has been announced many times but as you have quite correctly pointed out announcements don’t actually translate into those troops staying long!

The Canadian situation is just weird, as it’s not really a problem (the amount of fentanyl coming from Canada is minuscule). They already 8500 troops stationed on the borders so that’s basically a small adjustment.

All this seems much more about the announcement (on both sides) than actual action.
