Border Patrol was founded in 1924. It was to prevents immigrants to come over the U.S.-Mexican Border and the U.S.- Canadian border. The first stations were in El Paso, Texas and Detriot, Michigan. After 9/11, the main point of border control was to prevent terrorists from attacking the U.S.
Today border control is a huge contraversial issue between Americans, especially in Texas. People want a huge fence to keep out unwanted Mexicans. But who's to say this will really work? I think that it will be successful, because even though it will cost a lot of money to construct it, we will end up saving money in the long run. They are taking our jobs, and we are paying for some of them to go to school.
A new law in Arizona states that they have the right to check anyone that they chose to see their papers to prove that they are legal to be in the United States. Some say that it is racist, but I say that it's only to help protect the economny and jobs in the U.S.
