Responses to Question Student 1 Hello Class, Professor, Well here we are crossing the "borders" between the finish lines of this class. Over the past eight weeks we have learned the importance of borders in regards to our national security, why we still have borders, the borders of different countries, and the cost of doing business with our neighbors to the north and south. This course has taught us that the borders are as tenuous as holding water in your hands.So, let's start with the first question of this forum: 1) Discuss the similarities and/or differences between the external borders of New Europe and the U.S. - Mexico border? One of the main similarities between the United States, and European borders is the exodus of people from other countries to either the United States or Europe looking for better lives for their families. One of the lessons that I read caught my attention was the fact that most people who leave their home countries to go somewhere else, really do not want to be in the countries where they have had to relocate to. These people if they had their way would not have left their home countries. Some of the reasons that they left was, and these are the similarities that will always exist between the two: People form Mexico to come to the United States for a better life, and people from other countries migrating to Europe for a better life. One of the main differences is that while the United States is intent on spending billions on border security, you have a country like Germany that has totally opened its borders, and is allowing anyone in. This generally never happens,and is saving Germany untold amounts of money in border security. 2). Explain how the borders of the New Europe and the United States have changed since the "Cold War"? This question asks how the borders of the New Europe and the United States has changed. In the case of Europe the end of the cold war opened up Europe in ways that they could not possibility imagine,as in reality there are no "borders" of any tangibility in the "New Europe". Another change was, and this is major, "Since the end of the Cold War, the principle of the inviolability of borders has been violated repeatedly — through the creation of new borders, through the creation of newly freed nation-states, through peaceful divisions and through violent war. The principle of stable borders held for the most part until 1991 before undergoing a series of radical shifts that sometimes settled the issue and sometimes left it unresolved. The Europeans welcomed most of these border adjustments, and in one case — Kosovo — Europeans themselves engineered the change."("What Borders Mean to Europe", 2018). So, in context the borders of Europe basically disappeared,and our borders in the United States is still in the same state of "stasis". And unless something drastic happens,that will stay the same. Thanks for learning and growing with me, and let's all continue to become better everyday! Mytirus References: (2018).

This is a bit of a complex question. The United States is only has two land borders that it shares with two neighboring countries, Mexico, and Canada. The southern border has proven to be much more of a threat than activity up in the North. The difference between the United States and the country's allied European nations is that unlike America, Europe is much closer to a much larger number of foreign countries than the United States. From the east, Europe has to deal with Islamic terror organizations that attempt to infiltrate and also deal with a vast number of immigrants and refugees. Because there are multiple European nations with varying degrees of resources to handle this, the response can vary per nation, especially in effectiveness, for this reason Europe must rely on alliances and security agreements such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO. Other organizations that exist in Europe to assist in security include the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, and the Council of Europe (Bremberg 2015). The similarities of the two border examples happen to be the types of threats that they are meant to deal with and also have many similarities regarding the difficulty of border protection. 2) Explain how the borders of the New Europe and the United States have changed since the "Cold War"? The United States border security, as well as Europe's has intensified. For the United States, border protection is among the most important of national security issues and causes a major financial and resource strain to keep it secure. Not only has security increased, but technology also plays a part in border security from the use of drones to satellite imagery or surveillance. In Europe, nations have increasingly developed their military forces and civilian crisis management capacity (Bremberg 2015). This has not only increased security measures, but have allowed for countries to adapt to border security threats. Reference: Bremberg, N. (2015).

1) Discuss the similarities and/or differences between the external borders of New Europe
and the U.S. - Mexico border?
There are a number of similarities and differences between the US-Mexico border and
the borders in the new EU. Notably, both countries focus on the security of their people and
management of the overwhelmingly large number of people migrating into the two regions.
For instance, both the US and the EU have implemented the SMART border systems by
integrating technology and controls to monitor immigration and the flow of goods (Lehtonen
& Aalto, 2017). However, New Europe is more open to immigrants and a free flow of people
as compared to the US-Mexico border. One would agree that the US border system is headed
to a point that European countries were close to a century ago. For instance, there was a time
when typical European countries were striving to close their borders to their neighboring
countries to a po...
