Border Security plan delayed

Border Security

Just recently they are discussing harsher security and looking more closely into border control. They are now saying you need a tampering- resistant identification cards or passports. They will be needed by Americans and or people entering the US. They say it will help keep people out of our country who don't belong and won't slow down the real travelers from Canada and Mexico.

The plan was soon to be in process but they pushed the date back 17 months to make sure the bush administration would make the Identification cards. It would not affect people coming into our country by airplane or ship, they would still have the same rules. It's only for people coming into the US by land.

This border plan was 34.8 billion dollars to set up border fencing, also to pay the Federal Emergency Management Agency(to report emergencies), buy nuclear detectors, and to give the Homeland Security Department the authority to shut down chemical plants.

Personally, I think this is a great idea. It may be quite expensive but I think it is worth it. Even with all these expenses costing a lot, if it works and is a productive plan then I say we enforce it. Too many people every day and year are illegally crossing into our country. They not only take our living space but also many of our jobs.

I think we should welcome anyone and everyone to our country, but if they come over then they should be legitimate and won't need to worry about the extra security.
