November

2 CBP defends America’s borders against all threats while facilitating its economic stability.

November 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.

November 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.

November 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.

November History of CBP Customs  Tariff Act of July 4, 1789  Customs established on July 31, 1789  For nearly 125 years Customs funded virtually the entire government Immigration  Immigration Act of 1891  Ellis Island in New York opened in January 1892  In 1895 the Bureau of Immigration was formed  Basic Naturalization Act of 1906  Border Patrol created in 1924 In March of 2002, CBP was created, joining the customs and immigration functions into one organization under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

November CBP Mission CBP’s 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”

November 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

November CBP Authority  CBP officers are authorized to search people, cargo, and conveyances that cross America’s 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

November Enforcement for Other Agencies CBP enforces over 400 provisions of law for over 40 agencies  Quality of life  Motor vehicle safety  Water pollution  Pesticide controls  Business and public health  Consumer safety

November United States - Boundaries Land boundaries  Canada: 8,893 km  Mexico: 3,141 km  Total land boundary: 12,034 km Coastline  19,924 km Total boundaries: 31,958 km Population: 295,734,134 World’s third largest country by size and population

November Example of Port Traffic An example of traffic at a CBP land border port:  1,500 commercial vehicles per day  25,000 passenger vehicles per day  8,000 pedestrians per day

November Layered Enforcement

November Layered Enforcement Coordinated National Targeting Focus - National Targeting Center (NTC)  Integrates personnel from all DHS disciplines  Reviews information from databases to determine if potential terrorists are entering the US Legislative & Regulatory Initiatives  Manifest data required 24-hours before lading at foreign ports for all containers bound for U.S. seaports  Advance electronic data requirements for cargo shipped by air, truck and rail

November Layered Enforcement Partnerships  Container Security Initiative (CSI)  Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) Detection Technologies  Identify abnormalities/anomalies  Examine cargo and people in non-intrusive ways Enhanced Automated Targeting  Automated tools that assist CBP in targeting  Provide advance knowledge of cargo, aircraft, vessels, and passengers

November Layered Enforcement Training (CBP Officers)  Attend a 15-week basic training program  Remain on trainee status for the first 2 years of employment  Undergo Field Training after basic  Undergo in service training  Attend specialized training  Receive firearms training

November We facilitate legitimate global trade  CBP processed more than $2 trillion in imported goods in fiscal year 2007, collecting $33 billion in revenue.  Under the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, participants who meet certain security standards are provided expedited processing benefits.  As part of the Secure Freight Initiative and the Container Security Initiative, CBP officers pre-screen shipping containers at major international seaports to prevent terrorist cargo from entering the U.S.  Trade and tariff laws are enforced by CBP import and entry specialists and other personnel to ensure a fair and competitive trade environment.  CBP maintains an aggressive and comprehensive intellectual property rights enforcement program.

November 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.

November We protect by air and sea  CBP Air and Marine is the world’s largest law enforcement air and marine force.  A&M uses the latest technology, including unmanned aircraft systems, to detect and prevent terrorism, drug smuggling, and human smuggling across U.S. borders.  In fiscal year 2007, A&M protected America from 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, A&M also formed multi- agency and international partnerships to deter and combat the threat of illegal activity.

November 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.
