Secure Fence Act

The Secure Fence Act, passed in 2006 in the United States, aimed to enhance border security by authorizing the construction of physical barriers, such as fences, along the U.S.-Mexico border. This legislation was intended to prevent illegal immigration and improve security by deterring unauthorized crossings. It called for the deployment of technology and allocated funding for additional border enforcement resources. Over the years, the implementation of the Act has sparked ongoing debates about immigration policy, security, and the effectiveness of physical barriers in achieving these goals.
