Border Patrol

The start of guarding the U.S and Mexico border was beginning to be established in 1904. In 1915, the efforts to start increasing security on the border were put on the shoulders of Mounted Guards. These guards patrolled on boats, horseback, and cars along with walking. This allowed more land to be covered in less time. In 1952, illegal immigrants were allowed to be located and searched anywhere in the U.S.

I believe the efforts being put into border patrol are good but they need to be stepped up. Illegal aliens are stealing our low paying jobs because they are willing to work for so cheap and so many hours just to earn a quick buck which is hurting our economy. They are also bringing in drugs and weapons which in the total effect is really "killing" many millions of people each day in the United States. If we can step up our border patrol I think our country will become a lot safer.
