Patrolling the Border: National Security and Immigration Reform

Will the threat of terrorism from the U.S.-Mexican border radically reshape America’s immigration policies? This ABC News program studies the connections between 9/11, the American economy, and the workforce of undocumented labor on which that economy increasingly depends. Interviews with Arizona border patrol agents evoke their frustrations and reveal the perils faced by many Mexicans who attempt desperate wilderness crossings. Contrasts between President Bush’s proposed guest worker program and the Department of Homeland Security’s efforts to crack down on the influx of illegal aliens highlight the complexity of the situation. (22 minutes)
