Border security would get more officers and reports on needed equipment at ports of entry.
This bill would boost security at U.S. ports of entry by requiring the hiring of at least 1,000 new border officers above the current attrition level each year until staffing needs are met. It would also allow for more support staff and require reports that identify needed infrastructure and equipment to stop illegal drugs. This means safer borders for travelers and businesses.
Today, U.S. Customs and Border Protection hires officers and support staff, but there is no specific rule to hire at least 1,000 new officers above attrition annually. This bill would change that by requiring the hiring of at least 1,000 new officers above the current attrition level each year until staffing needs are met. It would also add new reporting requirements for CBP on staffing, infrastructure, equipment, and temporary employee assignments, which are not currently mandated.
