Book excerpt: Marc R. Rosenblum testimony. This hearing raises an important question for Members of Congress concerned about border security: What would a secure border look like? The United States spends billions of dollars and expends extraordinary effort to secure the border; and the Department of Homeland Security collects tables full of enforcement data. Yet after years of grappling with this question, no consensus exists about how to measure border security or how to evaluate existing enforcement efforts. Thus, while the White House asserts that our borders today 'are more secure that at any time in the past several decades,' Chairman Miller and others have warned against 'accepting empty promises on border security,' and asked 'how the American people can be assured that the border is truly secure?' My testimony begins by describing how to measure border security and identifies several concrete steps that could be taken to develop better border metrics. The second part of my testimony reviews recent border security and immigration enforcement efforts and identifies possible gaps in these efforts. I conclude by offering a tentative assessment of the current state of border security. ,

Book excerpt: The goal of this subcommittee has been to make sure that the Department of Homeland Security is adequately securing America's many, many miles of border. However, when we talk about border security, sometimes we don't think about our liquid borders that our Nation has. Our coasts obviously need to be secured just like the borders and the deserts of Arizona or across the Northern tier of our Nation as well. Of course, in Michigan we talk about the long, liquid border with Canada, who is our largest trading partner, but, as Mr. Cuellar points out often here, we also have a liquid border in Texas, in the Rio Grande. All of that needs to be secured.

Book excerpt: The President of the United States has requested increased security at the southern border, mainly by investing in and building a border wall. Some argue that this will cost too much money, and some argue that it simply will not be effective. Conversely, others would argue that it is a necessary tool within the United States' border security policy. This thesis examines a potential border wall's effectiveness by analyzing illegal immigration apprehensions and drug seizures. Furthermore, this thesis uses the southern border's existing border fencing as an example of how border infrastructure affects the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs. In addition to the land border, this thesis hypothesized that, based on historic border security data, an increase in land border security will result in an increase in illegal immigration and drug smuggling through maritime routes. So, illegal immigration and drug smuggling data from before and after large amounts of border fence mileage were constructed was compared from land and maritime perspectives. This research found that a border wall can be effective at redirecting the flow of people and drugs, but ineffective at the greater goal of stopping it. Also, this thesis discovered changes in maritime border security data that suggest that as security is increased on the land border with border barriers, the maritime domain will experience significantly more drug smuggling and illegal immigration.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.This literature review and background suggest that the border wall will not be effective at stopping immigrants or drugs from entering the country, mostly because of increasingly sophisticated smuggling techniques used by transnational criminal organizations. Although the wall may have some success in certain individual border sectors, it will not stop illegal immigration and drug smuggling completely. This thesis hypothesizes that the border will instead be effective at diverting flows of people and drugs into other areas and will result in a rise of illegal immigration and drug smuggling through the water to the East and West of the border wall. The research for this thesis is directed toward border security on land and at sea. Illegal immigration and illegal drug smuggling data was analyzed and was used as indicators of effectiveness for the border wall and border security as a whole. Also, the thesis examined the relationship between land and sea border security by analyzing illegal immigration and drug smuggling data before and after the United States constructed border barriers as a part of its border security strategy. Specifically, data was compared from the 1980s to 2006, the year the United States created the Secure Fence Act and significantly shifted its border security policy and constructed just under 750 miles of fencing in four years, then from 2009 to the present. The immigration and drug smuggling data from the southern land border was primarily found in CBP records. The immigration and drug smuggling data from the maritime borders was derived from USCG and CBP records. Background and amplifying information were collected from government reports, news articles, and journal articles. If the hypothesis is correct, this research should find that although illegal immigration and drug smuggling have decreased along the land border, they have increased on our maritime borders.
