What US geographical features are a gift yet a burden to the United States

Deep forests, coastal land, and warm southern climate

Coastal land, deep forests, and warm southern climate

Explanation:

Coasts provide opportunities for trade and commerce, but present a prime window for illegal immigrants to diffuse into the US if poorly regulated and guarded.

Forests provide the country with resources used for manufacturing and construction, but deforestation could drive the ecosystem to ruin. Managing the environmental upkeep of natural life while maintaining modern life is a burden on the United States

Southern States feature a warmer climate compared to the others, making them perfect candidates for crop-producing states. This climate does, however, come with the burden of dealing with natural disasters such as hurricanes and flooding, which is most prevalent in that region.

Out west has a similar problem with the presence of frequent forest fires and tornadoes in the mid-west.
