Border Security White Papers
Immigration Reform Key to Border Security
Overview After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, immigration policies and border security became a top priority for the administration of U.S. President. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is now responsible for border security under the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (BCBP), has taken advantage of the security debate to push forward anti-migrant policies in the name of national defense. Migrants have now been lumped in with terrorists and drug smugglers as a serious threat to national security, and the U.S. Border Patrol - under the leadership of BCBP - is pushing aggressive migrant deterrence policies.
