Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Nation relies on the efficient flow of commerce across our border, and it is the job of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to not only facilitate commerce, but to also secure the homeland. To accomplish this mission, sufficient port of entry infrastructure is needed along with robust Customs and Border Protection staffing. CBP's important mission not only keeps America safe, but also ensures tens of thousands of American jobs and billions of dollars in commerce that come into our country through trade with Canada and with Mexico. A significant portion of the trade with Canada, our No. 1 trading partner-actually our Nation's No. 1 trading partner-and Mexico, who is our Nation's No. 2 trading partner, cross nearly 170 land ports of entry every day. Delays and backups caused by old and inadequate infrastructure cost businesses millions of dollars in lost opportunities. As our economy and security requirements grow, our ports of entry must be able to accommodate more trucks, more passengers and cargo, while at the same time allowing people who cross the border each day convenient and secure travel, as well. How CBP and the Federal Government as a whole prioritize the need to expand and to update existing ports while also planning for new ports is neither clear nor transparent.

Download or read book Borders as Infrastructure written by Huub Dijstelbloem and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation of borders as moving entities that influence our notions of territory, authority, sovereignty, and jurisdiction. In Borders as Infrastructure, Huub Dijstelbloem brings science and technology studies, as well as the philosophy of technology, to the study of borders and international human mobility. Taking Europe's borders as a point of departure, he shows how borders can transform and multiply and and how they can mark conflicts over international orders. Borders themselves are moving entities, he claims, and with them travel our notions of territory, authority, sovereignty, and jurisdiction. The philosophies of Bruno Latour and Peter Sloterdijk provide a framework for Dijstelbloem's discussion of the material and morphological nature of borders and border politics. Dijstelbloem offers detailed empirical investigations that focus on the so-called migrant crisis of 2014-2016 on the Greek Aegean Islands of Chios and Lesbos; the Europe surveillance system Eurosur; border patrols at sea; the rise of hotspots and "humanitarian borders"; the technopolitics of border control at Schiphol International Airport; and the countersurveillance by NGOs, activists, and artists who investigate infrastructural border violence. Throughout, Dijstelbloem explores technologies used in border control, including cameras, databases, fingerprinting, visual representations, fences, walls, and monitoring instruments. Borders can turn places, routes, and territories into "zones of death." Dijstelbloem concludes that Europe's current relationship with borders renders borders--and Europe itself--an "extreme infrastructure" obsessed with boundaries and limits.
