Part 4/12:
The border patrol expects that some individuals attempting illegal crossings will either be deradicalized or choose to abandon their extremist agendas once they experience the American lifestyle. This is not just speculative; it is backed by actuarial models that factor in the likelihood of illegal entrants disengaging from extremist activities after exposure to American society.
This pragmatic approach underscores a disturbing reality: the border is not only a line of entry but also a battleground where individuals are at risk of radicalization or deradicalization, depending on their circumstances. Many individuals, initially motivated by despair or external influence, might find new purpose or abandon their violent plans after experiencing life in America.
