Goal 2.1: Security

Secure U.S. Air, Land, and Sea Borders

Other Information:

Prevent the illegal flow of people and goods across U.S. air, land, and sea borders while expediting the safe flow of lawful travel and commerce. Over the past several years, DHS has deployed historic levels of personnel, technology, and resources to the Southwest border, and made critical security improvements along the Northern and maritime borders while facilitating the lawful transit of people and goods across our borders. Through the collection, analysis, and proper sharing of information, the use of screening and identification verification techniques, the employment of advanced detection and other technologies, the use of "trusted traveler" or "trusted shipper" approaches, and cooperation with our international partners and the private sector, we can achieve security at our borders, enforce the laws, and ensure our prosperity and freedom by expediting lawful travel and commerce.
