Clinton / Bush Era U.S. Border Policies

1996: The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act

2005: The Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act

2006: The Secure Fence Act

“Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the focus of the Border Patrol has changed to detection, apprehension and/or deterrence of terrorists and terrorist weapons…Its overall mission remains unchanged: to detect and prevent the illegal entry of aliens into the United States. Together with other law enforcement officers, the Border Patrol helps maintain borders that work, facilitating the flow of legal immigration and goods while preventing the illegal trafficking of people and contraband.” ¹
