Tighter U.S. Border Control
So this one isn't entirely travel related, but then again it depends on who is making the journey and their reasons
for
doing just. I read about it a while back after reading a headline that compared the plans for tighter border control
and constructing a fence along the U.S. and Mexico borders to that of the Berlin wall. Surely that would capture the
attention of most and let me say Mexico is fuming over these plans. The Chicago
Tribune describes the 700 mile border extension plans through the feelings of officials and migrants. President
Vicente Fox and his foreign minister call the fence a "wall and barrier" and call the proposal "shameful
and stupid." Though several immigrants have endured serious injuries by trying to cross the border, scale the
fence, or even in the hands of the human smugglers it doesn't seem these plans for tighter security will stop their
seeking a better life, job security, the American dream, or whatever adventure lies up north.

I'm sure that a border fence, more border agents, and high tech survellience may not stop illegal immigrants from trying to come to the United States; but it can drive the number of illegals from one million per year to perhaps 100,000 year. I like those odds.
