Border Patrol
Contemporary criminal justice administrators must have familiarity with the rapidly growing issue of undocumented or illegal aliens in the United States.
Focus your discussion on sharing your opinions on the following:
- What is the main problem that is faced by law enforcement in protecting U.S. borders?
- What is 1 idea for how law enforcement or legislators can slow down the flow of illegal aliens into the United States?
Answer:
The main problem faced by law enforcement in protecting U.S. borders is the sheer volume of people attempting to cross into the country without proper documentation. This can lead to overwhelmed border patrol agents and a backlog in the immigration court system.
One idea to slow down the flow of illegal aliens is to improve the legal immigration process. This can include streamlining the application process, increasing the number of visas available, and working with other countries to address the root causes of migration. By making the legal path easier and more accessible, fewer people may feel compelled to cross the border illegally.
