Border Security Merging

Coming into the US can be a confusing experience, with all different agencies competing to check your car for illegal immigrants, drugs, fruit, or terrorists. Now, in a move towards political expediency, the department of Homeland Security is moving to present "one face at the border" through a unified border patrol (CBP). Current immigration and agriculture officials are complaining that their specialized training can not be replicated in a generic program that incorporates anti-terrorism tactics. As one customs official complained, "You don't see the government combining the armed forces". Perhaps more money and more resources would be a better way to close off America's porous borders. - YaleGlobal
