Concerns About Coordination and Inspection Staffing on the Southwest Border Gao ID: T-GGD-92-29 April 8, 1992

Efficient border operations require coordination among several entities, including U.S. agencies, state and local governments, and Mexico. Poor coordination in the past has led to staffing imbalances between the U.S. Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service and to too few inspector staff at existing and planned facilities. This testimony focuses on (1) coordination in border management and planning efforts and (2) the U.S. Customs Service's current and anticipated staffing requirements along the southwest border.
