New Security Measures Implemented Along the Southwest Border

With the deployment of an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) in Texas

, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) unmanned aerial capabilities covers the whole of Southwest Border. The region under border security extends from the El Centro Sector in California to the Gulf of Mexico in Texas, thereby providing critical aerial surveillance assistance to personnel on the ground. The Progress Achieved by the US Department of Homeland Security till date is commendable. Illegal border crossings have significantly reduced as a result of increased border security along the southwest border. The recent passage and signing of Southwest border security supplemental legislation provides critical additional capabilities to reduce the illicit trafficking of people, drugs, currency, and weapons in the South west border. The Southwest Border Initiative was launched in March 2009. Since then, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has doubled the number of personnel assigned to border enforcement security task forces. In addition, they have also increased the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers working along the U.S.-Mexico border, and the number of border liaison officers have increased by four times. The UAS efforts are just the latest steps that have been directed to the southwest border. The Border Security is now better staffed than at any time in its 86-year history. The US Department Of Homeland Security and the General Services Administration (GSA) are also directing more than $400 million in Recovery Act funding to the Southwest border. Over the past 17 months, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has deployed additional Z-Backscatter Van Units, Mobile Surveillance Systems, Remote Video Surveillance Systems, thermal imaging systems, radiation portal monitors, and license plate readers to the Southwest border. The US Department Of Homeland Security is directing all its efforts to target criminals, deter illegal immigration and prevent the influx of weapons, drugs or cash to meet stringent security measures.
