Border Security
As our second-largest trading partner, Mexico and the United States share more than just a border - we share a unique history. The need for border infrastrastructure and border management systems that facilitate the continued integration of the North American economic region is vital. These systems should protect the citizens of both nations from terrorism, illegal drugs, and other dangers; facilitate and expedite legitimate cross border travel and commerce; and allow our governments to determine who crosses the borders. The specific measures that comprise our joint action plan with Mexico embrace technology and enhance bilateral cooperation to ensure a humane, efficient, and modernized management of the border that joins our peoples and our economies.
