U.S. Border Patrol

The U.S. Border Patrol is the mobile, uniformed arm of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) branch of the Department of Homeland Security.  The top priority of the Border patrol is to keep terrorists and weapons from entering the United States.

The Border Patrol also helps to prevent smuggled goods and illegal drugs from crossing our borders.  It identifies and arrests persons with outstanding arrest warrants and works to prevent aliens from entering the country illegally.

The Border Patrol patrols 6,000 miles of Mexican and Canadian land borders and 2,000 miles of coastal waters of Florida and Puerto Rico.  Most of the work of the Border Patrol occurs in isolated communities and remote areas along our borders.

In recent years the Border Patrol has come under fire for not being able to stop the flow of illegal aliens from crossing the Mexican border into the United States.  The federal government is struggling with this issue and has been unable to provide an effective solution through what appears to many to be an unwillingness to close our borders to undocumented aliens.
