Border Patrol

As early as 1904, U.S Immigration Service patrolled the United States and Mexico border, trying to prevent as many illegal aliens from crossing the border. In 1915, the security of the border was stepped up by having a special group of men, either on horseback, car, or boat patrol the border. This helped increase the amount of the border covered. As Texas being one of the bordering states, they assigned Texas Rangers to help patrol the border which made a significant effect on lowering the amount of illegal immigrants entering the U.S each day.

I personally believe that the efforts to keep illegal immigrants out of the United States needs to increase. With these illegal immigrants also comes the bad drugs, weapons, and the low-paying jobs that they are willing to work. By stepping up our patrol on the border, we can lower the amount of drugs and weapons that are brought over each and every day. We also need to step up our patrol to stop illegal aliens from entering at all because they are hurting our job economy. Any one of those illegal aliens will be willing to work more hours for less money which really lowers the amount of jobs for U.S. Citizens.
