From the Paper:
"The United States is no longer in its infantile stages of development and in present day accounts for the greatest super power on the world's stage; in many aspects a near hegemony. The United States spends more on military expenditures than the rest of the world combined. It is poised to rule the world by domination and force but somehow still cannot manage to secure its own borders. This situation illustrates a point of weakness that is humiliating to US foreign policy and represents security threats that are in surmounted in potential. If the US still plans to rule the world by the threat of force than it must consider this problem a priority."The failed invasion of Iraq has already done much to diminish the effective perceptions of the United States' capabilities worldwide. The failed immigration system is also acting to bring global attention to the country's weaknesses. Not only does the perception of weakness increase the risks associated with unsecured borders, it also provides an avenue that could be exploited by someone who wishes harm upon the US. Border security is essential to the national security obligations of the federal government."
