CBP defends Americas borders against all threats
while facilitating its economic stability.
3
The scope of our task is daunting

• More than 46,000 employees protect the United
  States from terrorists, drug and human smugglers,
  agricultural disease, and more, while keeping
  travel and trade flowing.
• We guard approximately 7,000 miles of land border
  the U.S. shares with Canada and Mexico.
• We also secure 95,000 miles of shoreline in
  partnership with the United States Coast Guard.

4
Ports of entry are key line of defense

• In fiscal year 2007, CBP officers inspected 411
  million travelers and more than 120 million cars,
  trucks, buses, trains, vessels and aircraft.
• That same year, CBP officers arrested more than
  25,000 suspected criminals, seized more than
  820,000 pounds of narcotics, interdicted more
  than 170,000 inadmissible aliens and conducted
  1.5 million agricultural interceptions.

5
We welcome legitimate travelers

• SENTRI A program that allows pre-approved
  travelers to receive expedited processing at
  dedicated U.S./Mexico land border crossings.
• NEXUS Bi-national expedited traveler program
  whose members have crossing privileges at air,
  land, and marine ports of entry.
• Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative Will
  require a passport or other accepted document to
  enter or re-enter the United States by land and
  sea.
• Immigration Advisory Program CBP officers
  stationed at foreign airports pre-screen
  passengers destined for the U.S. and identify
  those who may be inadmissible.

CBP Mission

• CBPs mission consists of twin goals

CBP's priority mission is preventing terrorists
and terrorist weapons from entering the United
States, while also facilitating the flow of
legitimate trade and travel
8
Facilitating Trade

• In the effort to support the twin goals of the
  CBP mission, officers/agents must
• Ensure traffic is expedited
• Continue with traditional mission of looking for
  drugs, intellectual property rights (IPR)
  violations, look for agriculture violations,
  review passenger admissibility
• Use varying technology effectively
• Learn new technologies for detecting terrorist
  and terrorist weapons

9
CBP Authority

• CBP officers are authorized to search people,
  cargo, and conveyances that cross Americas
  borders without a search warrant
• CBP Officers are the only US law enforcement
  officers with such authority
• Border Patrol agents do not
  have this
  authority

  Terrorism, participants who meet certain security
  standards are provided expedited processing
  benefits.

We are vigilant between the official border ports
of entry to the U.S.

• We have increased the number of personnel beyond
  the borders Border Patrol agent staffing in
  fiscal year 2007 increased by 21 percent, from
  12,349 to 14,923.
• Border deterrence efforts are working. This year,
  Border Patrol agents reduced the number of
  apprehensions at the borders by 20 percent.
• Border Patrol marijuana seizures are up by 36
  percent, and cocaine seizures have risen 11
  percent.

19
SBInet is a border security tool

• The Secure Border Initiative is transforming
  border management by integrating the right mix of
  personnel, infrastructure, technology, and rapid
  response capabilities into a comprehensive border
  protection system.
• In partnership with an industry-led team, SBInet
  is creating a common operating picture for
  personnel by using integrated sensors and other
  interoperable technologies and systems to help
  agents detect, identify, classify and respond to
  illegal activities.

20
We protect by air and sea

  enforcement air and marine force.

  unmanned aircraft systems, to detect and prevent
  terrorism, drug smuggling, and human smuggling
  across U.S. borders.

  illegal drugs and currency, seizing or disrupting
  the flow of more than half a million pounds of
  illegal drugs and seizing 16 million during more
  than 80,000 flight hours flown.
• This year, AM also formed multi-agency and
  international partnerships to deter and combat
  the threat of illegal activity.

21
We protect American agriculture

• Agriculture specialists inspect ships, airplanes,
  vehicles, cargo, passengers, and their baggage
  for prohibited products that may carry pests and
  disease.
• The products that agriculture specialists prevent
  from entering the U.S. pose a very real threat to
  American crops, natural forests, domestic plants
  and our animal production industry.
• During fiscal year 2007, CBP agriculture
  specialists made 1.57 million agricultural
  interceptions (meats plants that are prohibited
  entry into the U.S.). Through inspection of
  commodities and seized products, they found
  nearly 60,000 actionable or reportable plant pest
  interceptions.
