Border Workforce Improvement Act

Sponsored By: Representative Johnson, Julie [D-TX-32]

In Committee

Summary

A time-bound Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assessment of staffing at the U.S. southern border would force a systematic review of whether Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Citizenship and Immigration Services have the people, technology, and processes they need. The bill sets deadlines and a required reporting structure so findings become specific, actionable recommendations for Congress.

Show full summary
  • Border workers: Staff at the southern border would be examined for workload drivers, overtime effects, and staffing model shortfalls so agencies can pinpoint gaps and propose fixes.
  • DHS agencies: CBP, ICE, and USCIS would complete the assessment within 90 days and then provide a comprehensive report with implementation steps within 180 days after the assessment ends.
  • Congressional oversight: The report must go to House Homeland Security and Appropriations and Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Appropriations, giving those committees a targeted set of recommended solutions that may or may not need legislative action.
