Provision of reliable security to the citizens of a given nation is the most basic duty of a government. It is due to this that many laws and national security policies have been and are still being formulated and executed by our government. The levels of criminology and terrorism threatens in the American nation call for the need to have effective structures in place for ensuring that a president implements the policies on which he was elected (Adams). Such national security policies include fight against terrorism and criminology in the society. It is inline with the great concern for national security that this paper is written. The author in particular looks at the importance of responding to the border, terror and port as well as organized crime national security policies.

The president should effective respond to the national policy on terrorism. This is because terrorism threatens the ultimate realization of sustainable development in our nation (Adams). Even with the many contradicting debate on the fight against terrorism, the sustainable security of our citizens should not be overlooked. It is to be realized here that any reluctance in our governments efforts in fighting terrorism could open up the nation to new and more serious terror attacks.

The problem of external insecurity threats in America has been closely attributed to vulnerability of our borders and ports (Evans and Jeffrey). It is to be noted here that the American nation is increasingly experiencing large numbers of illegal immigrants. This means that national security policies on border and port protection are way far below expectations in effectiveness. It is based on this reasoning that any failure by the government to reinforce its border and port guard policies will ultimately fail the struggle for realizing sustainable security in the nation. Such border and port security failures risks potential terrorism attacks as well as increased criminology in the society (Adams). It has been established that most criminal activities in the American nation are carried out by illegal immigrants in the quest for realizing survival means. Therefore, there is need for our president to respond with much concern for security by executing the border and port security policies if sustainable security for the American citizens is to be realized.

Another important national security policy is the fight against organized crimes in the nation (Homeland Security). Statistical information has evidently shown that the high levels of criminology in the American nation are a direct result of the presence of organized crime. These groups do not only engage in illegal businesses but also threaten the fair and just existence of the citizens of America. It is to be realized that organized crime has lately claimed as a potential unpreventable terrorism attack in the nation (Homeland Security). This is because with their well established networks, any possible teaming with terrorist groups could open the nation to greater security threat than never before. There is thus much need for the president to oversee the effective execution of the organized crime national security policies.

In conclusion, it is evidently clear that terrorist attacks are a great threat to the American nation. This is further complicated by the increasing dominance of organized crime groups in overtaking government responsibilities in the society. The president should thus not only respond to the terrorism fight policies but also ensure the effectiveness of our cross border and port security policies.
