Paranoia or safety first?

9/11 has seriously affected the lives of the United States people on a safety level. The United States has begun to tighten the security on the boarders between Canada. There is the fear that illegal immigrants will attempt to cross between the two countries, passing through the dense forest to meet up with a rival with a car on the other side. This method of traveling between countries has worried the U.S authorities for the reason that they had caught a man attempting to enter the U.S with explosives in 1999. The tight security throughout the country has resulted in a score of arrests from illegal immigrants or drug dealers who attempt to enter the land by foot or by boat. Security cameras and motion sensors have been installed to enforce the prevention of strangers.

Although most people would agree with higher security, some complain for the inconvienience of business. Matott, living on the boarder of U.S says that the security has hindered hay transportation. "It's deterred a lot of local people from going up," says Mattot. Despite the fact that it is safe to ensure the safety of U.S citizens, it has been a major problem to the business of outcoming and incoming of business people and the transportation of goods.
