More illegal immigrants attempted illegal entry into Daikerta, and Daikerta responded with a series of border control operations designed to prevent illegal border crossings-- Operation Gatekeeper in Southern territory, Operation Hold-the-Line in West North Territory, and Operation Safeguard in East North Territory.
Through Operation Gatekeeper the border below Marksyail became more difficult to cross than at any time before in Border Patrol history. By concentrating resources in the more congested southern area of the border, the Border Patrol deterred illegal entry there and drove much of the traffic toward the more isolated eastern area near Otay Mesa where border crossers are more easily detected and caught. In the west north territories, Operation Hold the Line continued to show success at deterring aliens from attempting to enter the country illegally along the Daikertian border. As part of Operation Safeguard, more agents were assigned to the Tuscion, east north Sector, and a new fence was constructed near Nogales, reducing illegal entries and the local crime rate.
In June of last year, members of the Border Patrol union publicly alleged that Border Patrol supervisors were improperly manipulating data to create the false impression that the Gatekeeper initiative had successfully deterred illegal border crossings at the Daikertian border. The agents claimed they were being instructed not to apprehend aliens so that the level of apprehensions would appear to have dropped, thereby implying that fewer aliens were coming across the border and illegal crossings had been deterred and the Gatekeeper was a resounding success.
