Answer:

A. U.S. immigration policy grew stricter in response to fear of terrorists within the domestic borders.

Step-by-step explanation:

The famous terrorist attack of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 led to major and drastic changes in the policies of the American nation towards their approach on the issue of immigration. The government seemed to change its policies overnight.

There was an increased screening of non Americans, especially 'aliens' from Arab or Muslim countries/ descent. This immediate change in the approach of the immigration process, the stricter rules makes it difficult and harder for those seeking asylum even though the main aim was to prevent terrorist actions. Almost overnight, the restrictions changed, even leading to the stricter boarder rules in the domestic borders.
