New Controls on US Borders

America has long welcomed newcomers from foreign lands: Middle Eastern refugees, Latin

American job seekers, Canadian shoppers, Asian students or European tourists. They come to take

advantage of the country’s largesse – its political, financial and social opportunities – and they come

in very large numbers. Last year the United States issued 7 million visas to foreigners but that’s only

a fraction of the estimated 500 million people who enter and leave the United States every year.

Given such a vast number of visitors, it’s perhaps not surprising that the Immigration and

Naturalization Service (INS) focuses much of its attention on simply moving people through the

doors. INS inspectors, for example, are required to vet all passengers on international flights within

45 minutes of arrival (an efficiency they don’t always achieve).

Many visitors do not need visas at all : they’re from friendly countries, members of a 29 nation

Visa Waiver Program, and can virtually come and go as they please, breezing through checkpoints

with a passport and a smile.

But America’s complacent attitude¹ has changed. The USA immigration system and Washington

are now taking steps to patch the gaping security holes up.

Since the disaster, Immigration, Customs and Border authorities have been on a state of high alert

at America’s 301 ports of entry – airports, seaports and land crossings. Passengers arriving on the

shores of liberty are now greeted by National Guard troops bearing rifles and meticulous baggage

inspectors wearing surgical gloves.

Foreigners who want to take up residence in the United States – from students and tech workers

to bedraggled² refugees – find themselves asking the question that never would have occurred to

them before September 11: is the United States closing its gates?

No, but while the U.S. gates will stay open to the world, that opening won’t be quite as wide.

“We welcome legal immigrants”, Bush said “but we don’t welcome people who come to hurt

Americans”.

America, a nation of immigrants, prides itself on its ethnic diversity and its magnetic attraction to

those looking for a better life. But as Jim Zogby says, “The bastards who took advantage of

American freedom to murder Americans have done grave damage (to the ideal)”.

Adapted from “Special Report” by Richard Ernsberger Jr., Newsweek, 12 Nov. 2001, p. 51-52.

Notes:
complacent attitude¹ = attitude de suffisance ; bedraggled² = trempés et débraillés.
