>> Our world has changed.

2
00:00:09,370 --> 00:00:11,010
It's a more dangerous place,

3
00:00:11,010 --> 00:00:13,590
and the United States
is under constant threat,

4
00:00:13,590 --> 00:00:15,290
physical and economic,

5
00:00:15,290 --> 00:00:17,420
by those who wish
to harm the nation

6
00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:19,360
and its way of life.

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:20,690
The men and women of the U.S.

8
00:00:20,690 --> 00:00:22,330
Customs and Border Protection,

9
00:00:22,330 --> 00:00:26,210

ensuring the U.S. borders
are the last line of defense

16
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:46,670
