Having solders at your borders is a new concept for America as most of American solders are stationed in other countries occupying them or planning a way to do so but most of the countries who have well established armies have solders on their borders protecting them. Look at Russia China Pakistan India and many more even Israel Iran and the list will go on. USA just has to protect 3,144.658 km border and If US army is not able to protect that border what good is that army?
what is the point of having 1.3 million strong army if they cannot protect a 3,144.658 km border.
Pakistan has a 3323 km long border with India and Pakistan has 0.55 million strong army, it very difficult for even birds to cross that border.
You should read before you post. The article is talking about children
THAT CROSS INTO US ALONE ILLEGALLY OR SEPERATED FROM THEIR PARENT DURING THE CROSSING. as @_Cobra said
Not that US Authority will separate the family who cross together illegally.

The Trump administration is considering housing children of illegal immigrants who cross the U.S. border alone or get separated from their parents at military bases in the United States.
The move would split children from their parents after they crossed the U.S. border from Mexico illegally and comes as the administration has increased its crack down on illegal immigrants after border agents said March and April had the highest monthly totals of illegal immigration since Donald Trump became president.
Officials said the Health and Human Services Department is looking at four bases in Texas and Arkansas to house the children but they spoke on the condition of anonymity because the plan has not been made public or made final.

A policy under consideration by the Trump administration would house children of illegal immigrants who cross the U.S. border alone or get separated from their parents at military bases
President Trump has cracked down on illegal immigration after reports that April and March saw the highest illegal border crossings of his presidency
The move comes as President Trump shown increased anger on the issue in the wake of the high immigration numbers.
Officials in his administration have followed his lead in getting tougher on illegal immigration.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions warned last week that parents who cross the border illegally with their children will have them taken away.
'If you cross the border unlawfully, then we will prosecute you -- it's that simple. If you smuggle illegal aliens across our border, we will prosecute you,' he said during a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border.
The new policy to split children and parents would aid in the crack down.
The Department of Health and Human Services, which would carry out the policy, said in a statement to the Associated Press that it routinely evaluates additional locations for temporary housing of illegal immigrants.

Placing "
UNACCOMPANIED" children in children detention centre is general practice around the world dealing with illegal immigrant and refugee seeker. Unaccompanied children
CANNOT be place in the same camp that house adult due to the exploitive issue. The news is simply saying US will now house these children, who crossed alone or separated into a unit in Military Base.
Also, US military force is forbidden to operate on US soil. And No border can be guard "
COMPLETELY" like you said because to do that, you would have to stand a human chain 24/7 on all your border, Also, illegal immigrant not just arrive via land, they also arrive by boat and air, how are you going to prevent this?
And finally, Pakistani border is NOT that unpenetratable as you claim, I used to work in Afghanistan/Pakistan border, I know, and personally saw Afghan who cross
DAILY into Pakistan side without your border guard know or being able to challenge.
Soldier, no Soldier, did not make a different, and you sir, pick a wrong article to troll.
