Border Security

The Department of Homeland Security prevents and investigates illegal movements across our borders, including the smuggling of people, drugs, cash, and weapons. The Department is working to strengthen security on the southwest border to disrupt the drug, cash and weapon smuggling that fuels cartel violence in Mexico by adding manpower and technology to the southwest border. We support smart security on the northern border and to facilitate international travel and trade.
