The border system is completed by the ability to select a different border at the beginning of each stage, although the prerequisite bonus must be achieved during the previous stage if you want to “border up”.
The variety in the stages and borders is highly appreciated and include your average side scrolling sections, with both tunnel and open space areas, vertical scrolling sections (the ship remains horizontal), and even some asteroid and space junk fields to blast and dodge through.
Border Down is plenty hard enough to provide a serious challenge, requiring a decent time investment to suss out all the available levels and even then, the constantly varying difficulty level ensures you can never really learn the stages off by heart.

WASHINGTON – Arrests of illegal border crossers have declined by 28 percent the past year, reflecting a trend that may result in the fewest apprehensions in more than a decade, according to Border Patrol documents.

With 10,000 agents securing the nation's northern and southern borders, the Border Patrol touted its long-running "prevention through deterrence" strategy as a key factor in the declining arrest trends.
