The border is everywhere

The Border Security Expo in Phoenix highlighted a booming border-security industry built around tougher immigration enforcement.

Vendors and law-enforcement leaders promoted surveillance tools, AI software, and arrest technology for the border and the interior.

Speakers praised Trump-era crackdowns, record-low crossings, and expanded DHS funding as momentum for the sector.

The event underscored how stricter U.S. immigration policy is deepening ties between government agencies and private contractors.
