When confronted with the challenges of border security and illegal immigration, government officials are fond of saying that our borders have never been as safe and secure as they are now. But ranchers in the borderlands of Arizona and Texas fear for their lands, their cattle, their homes, and sometimes their lives due to the human and drug smuggling traffic that regularly crosses their property. Who is right What does a secure border actually look like More importantly, is a secure border a realistic goal for the United States Border Insecurity examines all the aspects of the challenge and thriving industry of trying to keep terrorists, drug smugglers, and illegal immigrants from entering the United States across our land borders.
