This tragedy made news instantly and many people were ready to lend a helping hand. Since 9/11, the government has cracked down on the rights of its citizens. New immigration procedures are in effect, detaining immigrants of the Middle East. This process may eliminate the communication of possible terrorists in the U.S that are transmitting information overseas to plan a future terrorist attack. New screening procedures at airports including removing your shoes at the metal detectors to check for possible weapons before boarding the plane. Other cautious procedures include consolidating data gathered at immigration and custom locations.
In conclusion, the U.S lures immigrants to reside in the states with simple test to grant them citizenship, not knowing their background and what their capable of doing. The U.S offers more freedom to its citizens than any other country that I know of. When people enter the U.S from other countries, the government should do extensive research in order to determine if they may or may not be a threat to the country. This may be a difficult task due to the diverse background of the U.S citizens. Who knows you may have encountered a terrorist before.
