Pay Riding Essay
Free riding is the benefits from another source such as the defense companies that benefit financially from the counter terrorism actions of not only he United States, but from other countries as well. Pay riding is basically riding the fence in which both parties benefit. Frattiani & Kang (2004) mentioned counties pulling out troops or Saudi Arabia being a supposed ally but are home to extremist groups. Another example of pay riding would be Pakistan harboring Osama Bin Laden. Well I have a question for you. Letting the enemy know that you are pulling out of a country at a specific time, is that pay riding and for who? It is beneficial supposedly for the United States and of course for the enemy that can mark time until we leave.
The unilateral approach has been seen as the American way for some time it seems. Although we do most of the dirty work in the battle against terrorism, our posture has declined globally in recent years. We always seem to have some coalition of forces but those forces are mostly symbolic in nature it seems. With recent events, I believe that there will be a multilateral approach, but the United States will be on the sidelines, unless we have another major strike in the United States. …show more content…
As with any statistics, the arrangement of numbers can both prove and disprove a point or fact.
In the case of the amount of money that is being spent on border security and on the safety of the nation as a whole, is the money that is spent too much? Once again, partisan politics plays and shapes opinions on this subject. I believe there should be no cap limit on the money that is spent for the nation’s security, especially on what is spent on in other situations. But with that being said, how the money is spent should always be monitored. And that applies to all government spending, not just border
security.
With the security of the border between the United States and Mexico, the security of the border has consequences on trade. With the border security ramped up and more port of entry inspections, has delays and consequences to trade, and in illegal activities such as illegal immigration. The security of the southern border is mainly a United States concern. The hardened border paradox has had unintended consequences of now having professional that bring individuals into the United States. On the other hand, the open border such as what we share with our neighbors to the north, the borders are more open to trade as both sides, Canada and the United States, have an equal concern over the security of the border and what would happen if the “open” border would become a “hardened” border.
The paradox of each unfortunately can never really be overcome with the current direction that the world as a whole is headed. With the rise and sheer volume of Islamic terrorist attacks, both from infiltration and homegrown within our borders, will continue to have an effect on our borders.
