With crime on the increase and a war on the horizon, seems to me more could be done by the federal government to curtail activity at our nation's borders.
Why not close them?
Just a wild guess on my part...(sniff)
It would never fly because we still have too many DemocRats in office!
And now, for some critical thinking and unambiguous strategy....
WHITE PAPER: RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORPORATIONS IN SUPPORT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
February 14th, 2003 A.D.
Given the various strikes against the West and our allies, including the EP-3 attack, 9/11 and others, it has become abundantly clear to truly discerning analysts that massive conflict between the Trans-Asian Axis and ourselves, as described by such authors as Jan Sejna, Anatoliy Golitsyn, J.R. Nyquist, Yossef Bodansky, Col. Lunev, and Dr. Alexandr Nemets, is inevitable.
In addition to overt threats posed by terrorism and WMD against the West and allies, there are dangerous behaviors that we, in the West and truly allied nations, theoretically have ultimate control over. What we are specifically referring to are behaviors demonstrated by certain corporations based in the US, or operating in the US, which, ultimately, based on the observation in the first paragraph, serve to undermine the security of the West and our allies.
Certain corporations have, for some years, done, and continue at present, to do, the following things:
A. Sell dual use items and technologies to customers in nation states whose goals include the destruction of the West and our allies.
B. Conduct operations in nations whose goals include the destruction of the West and our allies.
C. Recruit, hire and employ citizens of nations whose goals include the destruction of the West and our allies, both for assignments in their own nations, and, in the West and allied nations.
D. Source supplies and services from nations whose goals include the destruction of the West and our allies.
Based on the apparent geopolitical timbre of the times, these behaviors not only constitute a long term threat, due to the likely future supply and business interruptions, of corporations themselves, but may actually constitute treason, espionage and violation of the Patriot Act. In order to prevent any further damage to Homeland Security, the following explicit recommendations are made:
1.All employees of corporations based in or operating in the USA and abroad should be thoroughly investigated by the FBI, US Attorney, Homeland Security, and others as applicable, for treason, espionage and terrorist activity or support. This must include all managers and executives in order to be maximally effective.
2.All operations in, export to and sourcing from, the following nation states should be ended or proscribed by no later than June 1, 2003: The People's Republic of China, Russia and other former Soviet states, The Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Angola, Brazil, Venezuela, Cuba, and, Libya.
3.Focussed investigations should be made by the CIA and DIA regarding operations involving MCST in Russia, the Russian government and governments of Soviet states, the government and army of the PRC (and companies partly held by them) as well as the government of Pakistan.
4.Aggressive prosecution, for any crimes described herein, of employees, management, executives, partners, board members and others having specific relationships with offending firms.
We surmise that only by taking aggressive action in these regards may we prevent further compromise of our Homeland Security and our position in coming military conflicts.

Like I said, it would have to be done slowly, if at all.
Because it's impossible to block our thousands of miles of ocean and land borders. Not to dismiss this question, but I don't see it as possible.
Exactly. I was amazed at the amount of land we have when I drove from Tyler, TX to San Diego this past summer.
