00:00:02.700 --> 00:00:06.723
Terrorists are continually probing America's borders,

00:00:06.733 --> 00:00:09.956
looking for opportunities

00:00:09.966 --> 00:00:12.623
to slip into the country undetected.

00:00:12.633 --> 00:00:17.090
In the endless streams of arriving travelers and cargo,

00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:20.423
or along remote stretches between border crossings,

00:00:20.433 --> 00:00:24.423
denying terrorists those opportunities,

00:00:24.433 --> 00:00:28.056
intercepting terrorists and their weapons,

00:00:28.066 --> 00:00:31.890
requires innovation, a new breed of officer,

00:00:31.900 --> 00:00:35.356
and a new kind of organization.

00:00:35.366 --> 00:00:38.423
U.S. Customs and Border Protection:

00:00:38.433 --> 00:00:42.156
America's Frontline Against Terrorism.

00:00:42.166 --> 00:00:45.956
CBP processes more than a million travelers,

00:00:45.966 --> 00:00:49.056
hundreds of thousands of vehicles and planes,

00:00:49.066 --> 00:00:51.890
and tens of thousands of trucks and containers

00:00:51.900 --> 00:00:55.990
every day, 24 hours a day,

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:00.123
monitoring more than 6,000 miles of border.

00:01:00.133 --> 00:01:04.923
It's an immense mission, requiring dedication,

00:01:04.933 --> 00:01:11.090
relentless attention to detail, and constant innovation.

00:01:11.100 --> 00:01:14.356
CBP continually implements new approaches and technologies

00:01:14.366 --> 00:01:19.856
that strengthen security while speeding the entry process

00:01:19.866 --> 00:01:22.190
for legitimate travelers and trade.

00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.290
Partnering with the trade community

00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:27.156
and customs and security agencies worldwide,

00:01:27.166 --> 00:01:30.523
CBP is expanding homeland security

00:01:30.533 --> 00:01:34.823
beyond our own borders, with new systems

00:01:34.833 --> 00:01:37.390
that help secure the international supply chain,

00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.823
and people on the ground in foreign countries

00:01:40.833 --> 00:01:43.823
to identify suspect shipments and travelers

00:01:43.833 --> 00:01:45.456
before they board a ship or plane

00:01:45.466 --> 00:01:46.856
bound for the U.S.

00:01:46.866 --> 00:01:51.023
And on top of its efforts against terrorism,

00:01:51.033 --> 00:01:53.756
CBP continues its traditional missions

00:01:53.766 --> 00:01:58.123
of curbing illegal immigration and drug trafficking,

00:01:58.133 --> 00:02:00.290
enforcing U.S. import laws,

00:02:00.300 --> 00:02:02.823
and protecting American agriculture and food supply.

00:02:02.833 --> 00:02:06.156
Securing our borders,

00:02:06.166 --> 00:02:08.356
protecting lives,

00:02:08.356 --> 00:02:10.290
ensuring our freedoms --

00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.256
U.S. Customs and Border Protection:

00:02:13.266 --> 00:02:16.123
America's Frontline.
