On the lower Rio Grande, a glimpse at the border Trump wants 1 SHARES Share it! CBP last year issued a map that marked off several cities in the county for construction, including Roma and Rio Grande City. Trump says the Guard is necessary to guard the border until the wall can be built across the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump became the third U.S. president in a row to deploy the National Guard to the border. The Border Patrol employs around 3,000 agents in the Rio Grande Valley, roughly eight times the number in 1992.
