Also, The Administration is working with Canada to enhance joint law enforcement efforts and bolster cross-border security operations. Through the 'United States – Canada Beyond the Border Action Plan', Canadian and United State law enforcement are forging new ways of sharing resources, personnel, and information to uncover and disrupt threats that endanger the security of both the United States and Canada."( Border Security: DHS Progress and Challenges in Securing the U.S. Southwest and Northern Borders).

Many people were killed in the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers, additionally those who jumped down from stories above and the hundreds who asphyxiated in the massive smoke that had spread from New York to Washington D.C..

Implementing stringent security controls along the borders is likely to reduce the influx of illegal immigration into the United States. With the increased border security, the American government could have helped alleviate the occurrence of the 9/11 bombing. Though this strategy is essential in alleviating the influx of illegal immigrants to certain geographic areas, increased border controls in these locations have made other, less controlled areas of the border more vulnerable.
