The border US security structure since 9/11 Securing the United States’ borders, including land, air, and sea from illegal entry by immigrants, and contraband such as weapons and drugs has been the face of America’s security structure from before the lapse of the 9/11 attack. 1 However, after the 9/11 attack, the security structure took a new twist and continued to shape to meet the challenges of new threats. America believes in strengthening its homeland security to achieve economic prosperity. While the US shares a common border with Canada to the North and Mexico to the south, the security department is the vigil of the fact that these borders could be porous to bring about a serious security breach. After the 9/11 attack, homeland security has been committing to great levels of border security check, including personnel, intelligence, and technology, to its border with Canada and Mexico with increased maritime and air surveillance. While the terror threats persist, the American security structure continues to grow stronger than it was before the Al-Qaeda hit. 2 Today, America is more prepared to detect, thwart, and defeat terrorism with greater resilience to keep its diplomatic ties with both Canada and Mexico. Together, the American Security Council’s effort to safeguard its borders continues to lay a strong foundation to protect its citizens from terrorism and other contrabands while safeguarding its international relations with both Canada and Mexico. The American Security Council partners with the Canadian government, especially in the wake of the 9/11 attack, to strengthen its border surveillance, and together two nations have come up with a robust security enterprise to optimally mitigate and safeguard its borders against the dynamics of terrorism. 3 There has been the increased need to minimize risks that emanate from porous border points to maximize the ability to detect, confront, and mitigate threats and attacks from terror groups. In the wake of 9/11, the United States promulgated the Patriot Act to help its government in securing its borders. The US Patriot Act was officially instituted in 2001 as the most sweeping enactment following the 9/11 attack. As an effective homeland security commitment to ensure the safety of the American people, the Patriot Act aimed to restore order through surveillance and rapid tracking response, including seizures and detention of suspected terrorists and their agents. In the aftermath of the 9/11 attack, President Bush, together with the Attorney General John Ashcroft, effectively rallied Congress to increase the federal powers of search, seizures, surveillance, as well as the detention of suspects. In the meantime, the concerns of domestic liberties were put away deliberately as the Act unanimously got support from both the Democratic and Republican divide. 4 The key features of the Patriot Act included the Roving Wiretaps that allowed the federal agency to wiretap any telephone conversations that terror suspects and agents might use to penetrate the security systems. In the course of all these developments, the federal agency became more consistent in the use of internet tracking as a means of fast-tracking internet communication. The law enforcement authorities, therefore, had the capacity to interfere dir
