  • Case Study: What Is The Fourth Amendment Only As It Pertains To Secure The Border

    1511 Words  | 7 Pages

    The challenges that come from facilitating legal border crossing while trying to maintain secure borders can be seen when taking a closer look at the U.S northern and southern borders. The northern U.S border that neighbors Canada can be described as an open border with more relaxed regulations and security. This has been great in the past for transportation and trade, however there is an open border paradox that lax regulations and security, let in unwanted illegal activity in too easily. On the Southern border along Mexico, the U.S has more of a closed border, that has a fence along part of it, active border patrol patrolling the area and security checkpoints that make entry much more difficult. The paradox with the closed border is that it encourages and contributes increased migrant and narcotics smuggling and the level of corruption and organized crime is more prevalent.

  • Summary Of Migra ! A History Of The US Border Patrol

    1267 Words  | 6 Pages

    It all starts with the United States passing the Immigration Act of 1907, which was a law that “required all immigrants entering the United States to pass through an official port of entry, submit themselves to inspection, and receive official authorization to legally enter the United States” (Hernandez pg 1). The United States quickly became a nation severely divided over the issues of illegal immigration. In May of 1924 the border patrol was created to enforce immigration laws and restrictions by preventing illegal border crossings and policing the borderland regions. Despite many possible subjects or ‘suspects’ of illegal immigration, such as Asians, Europeans, and prostitutes, the U.S border patrol almost exclusively focused on Mexican immigrant workers. Then in the 1940s, the focus of the U.S border patrol shifted to the southern border.

  • Mexican Cartel Thesis

    600 Words  | 3 Pages

    Initially my thesis was how in our society the narrative around Latinos was that they are all in the cartel because of “genetics”, but I contradicted this by stating that a small minority of Latinos are in the cartel because of poverty. However, I discarded my focus on this because most of the sources I would have implemented in my argument were clickbait. In my most recent argument, I decided to focus on one aspect of that cartel. It now revolves around the violence that comes from the cartel. The social narrative that I am choosing is that society stereotypes all Latinos as inherently being violent and therefore the Mexican cartel is violent.
