Border Security: Analysis of Vulnerabilities Identified by Frontline Agents
Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
Abstract
This Minority Staff report details an investigation conducted by the Democratic staff of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, which uncovered that Border Patrol agents have rarely recommended building a wall to address the most commonly identified vulnerabilities– or "capability gap"--along the southwest border. Identification of identified vulnerabilities – or "capability gaps"– that inhibit agents from securing the border and catalog preliminary requests for solutions that would address each capability gap using infrastructure, technology, personnel, or other resources are measured using a tool called the Capability Gap Analysis Gap (CGAP). This report summarizes the results of the Democratic Committee staff's review of nonpublic data contained in CGAP in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017.
