Contents Background -- Fencing is intended to assist agents in performing their duties, but its contributions to border security operations have not been assessed -- CBP manages TI sustainment but Border patrol has not provided guidance on its process for identifying and deploying TI -- Conclusion.
Summary "In fiscal years 2013 through 2015, Border Patrol recorded a total of 2.1 million estimated known illegal entries between ports of entry along the southwest border. In an effort to secure the border between ports of entry, CBP spent approximately $2.4 billion between fiscal years 2007 and 2015 to deploy TI -- fencing, gates, roads, bridges, lighting, and drainage infrastructure--along the nearly 2,000 mile southwest border. GAO was asked to review the use of border fencing along the southwest border. In this report, GAO examines (1) border fencing's intended contributions to border security operations and the extent to which CBP has assessed these contributions and (2) the extent that CBP has processes in place to ensure sustainment and deployment of TI along the southwest border and challenges in doing so. GAO reviewed CBP documentation and data and interviewed officials in headquarters and three southwest border locations. These locations were selected based on CBP's extensive investments in TI in such areas"--Preliminary page.
