$660,176
The FY 2003 budget includes $362,000,000 for a comprehensive entry/exit system for the United States.� In addition, $18 million of base resourceswill be used to bring the total availability to $380 million� This system will include the use of advanced technology for tracking the arrival and departure of non-US citizens.� This funding will provide for the design of additional lanes and facilities at ports-of-entry; the acquisition of land to support the additional lanes; the development of the new entry/exit system, including the enhancement of the Inspection Program's information systems; and the administration of this large project.

To enhance the Border Patrol'scapabilities, $76,276,000 is included to increase Border Patrol staffing by 570 agents over the FY 2002 level. These additional positions will achieve the authorized level of Border Patrol Agents in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act and will increase the authorized Border Patrol staffing level to over 11,000 agents.� The Border Patrol will continue the phased implementation of a comprehensive border enforcement strategy that concentrates resources to control corridors of illegal entry.� INS will assess current border conditions and, based on its analysis, will develop a deployment plan for the additional agents along the border.� In addition, INS requests $25,000,000 to transfer 285 experienced Border Patrol agents from the Southwest Border to the Northern Border; $10,000,000 for twin engine helicopters that will be used along the Northern and Southwest Borders; and $2,000,000 for a comprehensive study of law enforcement compensation.� INS also requests $28,000,000 to enhance the ENFORCE database and to deploy additional biometric equipment.

INS requests $34,000,000 to hire, train, and deploy 460 additional immigration inspectors that will enhance border security at land border ports-of-entry.� These additional positions will be deployed along both the Northern and the Southwest Borders.

INS requests $145,000,000 for the planning, design, and construction of Border Patrol and Inspections facilities along the borders.� Border Patrol agent growth continues to strain the capacity of existing Border Patrol facilities and the current growth in immigration inspectors will create a need for additional facilities at the land ports-of-entry.
