The Pros And Cons Of Border Patrol

November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall falls amid the thawing of the Cold War. Consequently, an elated Europe welcomed a new ‘borderless’ continent. The Schengen agreements dissolved anachronistic boundaries that once separated nations, allowing peoples, such as the Ruthenians, to exercise a loyalty to the states within their immediate realm of influence, while simultaneously preserving their independent identities. A quarter of a century later the continent is amid a refugee crisis unseen since World War II. Detention, deportation, bureaucratic barriers, military, and satellite technologies have all been a part of the some of the most extensive and aggressive border enforcement programs in history. Endeavors that have stoked xenophobic fears and spawned grievous confrontations between some of the wealthiest nations on earth and a stateless people from the most impoverished.

However, since President Trump was elected, the Bureau of Prisons has restored those contracts and ICE is proposing five new private detention centers -- in Detroit, Chicago, St. Paul, Salt Lake City, and south Texas.

Executive Order 13767 was issued January 25, 2017 under the authority of the United State’s president, Donald Trump. The order, Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements, states that the United States is to begin the immediate planning and constructing of a contiguous wall bordering the United States and Mexico. It also demands that the Department of Homeland Security hire an additional 5,000 Border Patrol Agents whenever it becomes practical to secure the wall in order to establish operational control of the barrier. It prioritizes the removal of deportable immigrants charged of any criminal offense and ending the abuse of parole and asylum provisions that prevent the authorized removal of aliens. This order was created to alleviate the threat posed by illegal aliens to national security through the prevention of unlawful entries into the U.S.

Your professor schedules a class debate on pros and cons of the enforcement of federal immigration laws by the local polices. which side would you take? The local police must be involved in the enforcement of federal immigration law.

Modern-day America has put strict boundaries on immigration, but during the 18th and 19th centuries, an open immigration policy was encouraged and accepted. The concept of America as the land of dreamers and new beginnings is now lost due to recent border policies. An open border policy should be implemented in America as it upholds the Constitution, benefits the domestic and international economy, and maintains ethical standards for preserving human life.

This week it was announced by the Department of Homeland Security that the Trump Administration would be sending the National Guard to the border to serve as a human “wall” until Trump receives the funding for a real border wall because apparently, according to DHS, there is a “real threat” there. Trump released a presidential memorandum on Wednesday that outlined sending the National Guard to secure our southern border. “The security of the United States is imperiled by the drastic surge of illegal activity on the southern border,”(WHITEHOUSE.GOV) Despite the imperative language, the number of individuals caught crossing the southern Mexican border has fallen quite dramatically as of late and is presently at the lowest level it's been since 1971, around one-fifth the level of the late 90s, as indicated by Border Patrol information.

“The Homeland Security Act of 2002 established the federal United States Department of Homeland Security. Its stated mission is to secure the nation against terrorist attacks, to protect against and respond to threats and to ensure safe and secure borders” (Andrew, C., & Walter, F., 2013). “In addition to reducing the nation’s vulnerability to terrorism, the act was also created minimize the damage and facilitate recovery from any attacks that may occur” (Homeland Security, Department of, 2017). Many people want protection from dangerous situations, but what’s the cost of protection.

The first thing that really hit home for me was that people have to use ladder and secrecy to gain access to think country. This isn’t the way people should have to enter our county. People shouldn’t feel like they have to cross the desert in the dead of night, trying to get over a wall and survive in a wilderness that takes too many every year. To use rafts and busses and vans to cross a border that has no checkpoints on their side. The body the Border Patrol agents found is a great example. The person is dressed nicely, in a polo and khakis, and is wearing decent sneakers. They were probably trying to find a way to lead a better life. Instead, they were taken by the harsh environment that is the Sonoran Desert. At one point, they show a pile of bone they are collected, and they are so white. They have been in the sun for so long, who knows how long they have been

The United States border stretches for thousands of miles of harsh desert and forest landscape, between two oceans, over lakes and rivers and deals with the highest amount of immigrant traffic in the world. The U.S. has one of the toughest jobs in dealing with border security and the other issues that arise from economic and political ramifications, to securing the land, sea and air borders from unwanted entry by illegals immigrants, terrorists and contraband. Due to all these aspects, these make it difficult for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to get a handle on securing our nations border. Securing the border from illegal entry falls under the jurisdiction of the Custom Border protection (CBP) and Border Patrol, which both agencies are under the large DHS umbrella. These agencies were both created to handle these types of problems and have increased its work force numbers after the 9/11 attacks. This is actually when the U.S. really started to look at borders and locking them down from unwanted entry. With the creation of the Department of Homeland Security in March of 2003, the increase in the amount of federal officers on the border has nearly doubled to the sum of over 17,000 (DHS.gov, 2017).

I want to start out by apologizing for being late this week with my posts. I wasn’t late on my postings during Thanksgiving week, however this week was Championship Week in college football and I managed to make it to the Big10 championship game for the entire week! Although my team lost in the last minute of the game it was definitely still a once in a lifetime experience for the most part.

America’s Border Control is a security system that protects America’s borders and makes sure that no terrorist or illegal immigrants enter America without a green card. The border control has been paid billions and maybe trillions of dollars to protect our borders.

In 1915, Congress approved a separate group of Mounted Guards. Most rode on horseback, but a few operated cars and boats. Although these inspectors had broader arrest authority, they still largely pursued Chinese immigrants trying to avoid the Chinese exclusion laws. The agents were immigrant inspectors, assigned to inspection stations, and could not watch the border at all times, “Texas Rangers were also often assigned to patrol duties by the state, and their efforts were noted as singularly effective” (Border Patrol History, web). Customs violations and intercepting communications to the enemy seemed to be a concern than

When you travel across the border of the United States, whether it is by car, airplane or by sea, you and your belongings are subject to a warrantless search and seizure by a border patrol agent. According to the Supreme Court, these searches do not require probable cause. (Spengler, 2015)

I chose this link because it varies on Border Patrol agents how they cross the river to see if there are any people in danger or trying to cross the border they usually use boats to see if there are any people crossing trying to get to the other side illegally ,The Main border is located in Texas and Mexico to this date The US Border Patrol has been hiring new agents because the situation in The US has gotten out of control.People where worried since Trump came in Office many people where worried they where not gonna be able to see there families since President Trump was deciding on building a

Once someone goes through the system and becomes a citizens of the United States, it’s a big punishable deal. Why then should the Government let people who get into this country illegally be able to become citizens without going through the system legally the first time? An illegal immigrant isn’t a bad person but should be able to go through the system like everyone else regardless of how long it is if they want to become citizens. The United States has been trying to find a fix for illegal immigration since the late 1980’s but now the Government talks about forgiving illegals for their illegal immigration and letting them become citizens once they pay a fine instead of securing their border and deporting illegal immigrants. Surprisingly,
