I spoke with a border patrol agent when I went to Los Algadones a couple of weeks ago. He said that the troops will not really do much since all they do is rear support work not enforcement.
What he said did cut down on illegal traffic was when they went to a mandatory jail stay (I believe he said 48 hrs to a week) when caught instead of the old catch and take back to the border where they'd be back home inside 12 hrs.
He stated the day that went into affect the traffic dropped to almost nil in that sector but was sure it picked up in others.
