Issa Ibrahim: In the end having borders is really important because Borders determine how far a government's power reaches. People within a country's boundary have to follow its laws and pay its taxes. If they move or travel to another country, they'll need to know and abide by the laws set there.
Protecting our borders from the illegal movement of weapons, drugs, contraband, and people, while promoting lawful entry and exit, is essential to homeland security, economic prosperity, and national sovereignty.
