The federal department assigned to make the United States borders secure and prevent the admission of terrorists who could create another national catastrophe like that of 9/11 in which thousands of innocent Americans were killed now is promoting open borders.

The Department of Homeland Security's website features a section that is called "Secure and Open Borders," where it provides information about a visa waiver program to make it easier for people to travel across national borders with less documentation, as well as a program called US-VISIT.

However, even (Chertoff) acknowledged the nation is growing increasingly frustrated over the inability or unwillingness of the federal government to secure the nation's borders not only against illegal aliens seeking work but also against criminals, drug dealers and terrorists.

"The American public is rightly distressed about a situation in which they feel we do not have the proper control over our borders," Chertoff said at one point regarding the millions of illegal aliens now in the United States, and thousands more coming over weekly.
