Conclusion The president gave a speech on July 1, 2010, to the American University School of International Service, and offered these remarks about the border problem.

In terms of specific strategies to accomplish the above, the agency takes the following steps under its current plan: Control the borders through all legal means; use all legal data-collection means; use all legal biometric means to keep unauthorized people out of the United States; make the entry of people legally entitled to do so smoother and faster; to apply their actions equally to all people, regardless of race, religion, or country of origin; and examine trade policies (Secure Borders, Safe Travel, Legal Trade)
As a 2014 article suggests, when a state or states enact measures that allow for more violence during border patrol service, it spreads to other states. "Noteworthy is how the adoption of more stringent interior enforcement seems to result in a "herding" or "ganging-up" effect, whereby the incidence of verbal and physical abuse rises with the number of states enacting such measures" (Amuedo-Dorantes & Pozo, 2014, p

Research-based practices allow for the creation of effective strategies. "Some Border Patrol stations and land management agencies have coordinated their responsibilities through use of the national-level memorandum for understanding" (Publishing, 2016, p
Along with established checkpoints, checkpoint operations programs can also assist in effective conducting of border patrol processes. "Border Patrol Checkpoint Operations is a program that conducts traffic checks at certain points between POEs along the border, located within about one hundred miles of the border" (Shaw-Taylor, 2012, p
