October 26 proved to be a busy date for President George W. Bush during his time in office. In 2001, he signed the PATRIOT Act into law on October 26 and five years later, he signed the Secure Fence Act as well.
Both pieces of legislation and the broader policy questions they pose are still being debated in Congress today. How should the federal government balance national security and Americans’ privacy? Is a fence (or wall) the best way to secure the U.S. border?
