We are slowly securing our borders. New threats are emerging and resources are right. Managing our borders requires new immigration policy, new technology, and an integrated, cross-agency effort.

Multiple agencies are responsible for managing the entry and exit of citizens and visitors across our borders. There is a critical link between what happens at and between our land ports of entry and at our nation’s airports and seaports. For example, when Border Patrol agents apprehend undocumented aliens crossing the border, they rely on special agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement to identify, deport, and remove them. Cross-agency collaboration, and a shared view of the same information in every agency, is important to using scarce resources to combat the greatest threats.
