Border Security and Transnational Challenges

This chapter examines the influx of individuals from terrorism-prone countries and the challenges posed by those who enter the U.S. undetected, referred to as 'gotaways.' It analyzes the demographics of border crossers, particularly focusing on single military-age adults and issues with unaccompanied minors, while also critiquing the allocation of resources within border patrol operations. The discussion underscores the complexities of current immigration policies and the implications for national security amidst shifting political motivations.
