In todays ever-expanding global movement of people border security
becomes increasingly important. Stopping the illegal movement of
weapons, drugs, and people, while allowing lawful trade and travel,
is essential to our nations security and economic prosperity. This
book examines the funding, technologies and enforcement used to
keep our borders secure. Chapter 1 reviews the critical
infrastructure, technology, and personnel funding needed by U.S.
Customs and Border Protection to enhance our Nations border
security. On 25 January 2017, in one of his first acts as
President, Donald Trump ordered the immediate construction of a
physical wall on the southern border. As reported in chapter 2,
Border Patrol agents have rarely recommended building a wall to
address the most commonly identified vulnerabilities or capability
gaps along the southwest border. More often, agents recommended
additional technology and personnel as solutions for securing the
border. The U.S. Border Patrol, within the Department of Homeland
Securitys (DHS) U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), has made
progress deploying surveillance technologya mix of radars, sensors,
and camerasalong the southwest U.S. border as described in chapter
3. There is a wave of foreign nationals headed for the U.S.
southern border. Chapter 4 discusses the impending arrival of what
was initially called an immigrant caravan, which remains a
challenge of U.S. border security. The San Diego-based group,
Pueblo Sin Fronteras, or People Without Borders, has taken credit
for organizing the effort. While they claim to provide humanitarian
aid to migrants and refugees, what they are doing now is
undermining the rule of law. Chapter 5 highlights the potential
vulnerabilities in the visa issuance process. U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE), a component within the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), implemented the Visa Security Program
(VSP) in 2003. ICE has since deployed officials to certain U.S.
embassies and consulates overseas to strengthen the visa review
process by working with Department of State (State) consular
officers in reviewing applications.
