Border Security: Assessment of the Department of Homeland Security's Border Security Improvement Plan

Abstract

Customs and Border Protection manages about 7,000 miles of land border and 95,000 miles of shoreline. The agency is required to produce a plan to help guide its efforts and include information on how it intends to use personnel, fencing, and technology. However, we found that CBP's 2018 Border Security Improvement Plan does not include all of the information required by Congress. For example, the plan includes CBP's goals and objectives but lacks complete information on costs. It also doesn't explain how projects will address the highest priority security needs. We recommended that CBP ensure the 2019 plan include all required elements.
