I understand this is a politically charged issue but I want to move away from that and look at this from a Nat sec perspective. A clerical error and lack of communication contributed to one of the 9/11 hijackers (who was a known AQ member) entering the US undetected. I don’t want the same mistake to be made twice. I do not think terrorists are coming here from the southern border in droves, but I DO think some are using the chaos that is there as a way to gain entry.

To my knowledge, biometrics and tracking bracelets are collected for immigrants and although that won't obviate a crime or terrorism, it will allow time for background examinations during the interim for a court date and facilitate deportation. Federal authorities use ankle bracelets and cell phones with special apps to electronically monitor hundreds of thousands of migrants as an alternative to detention.Feb 23, 2024 As an aside, if Mueller had heeded the pleas of Coleen Rowley, 911 would likely have been preempted. Mueller, was however acting in accord of the extant law that hampered further scrutiny. The Patriot Act removed that obstacle hindering interagency collaboration and sharing of data. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleen_Ro…
@tracy_walder Chaos creates scenarios that can easily be exploited by bad actors. Example: Republican refusal to vote for legislation that was largely created by them contributes in a substantial way to the current border chaos. What's worse is that their intransigence is intentional.
