My office has put together state-by-state maps, which can serve as a reference tool in helping you understand that a healthy border with Mexico means more jobs for Americans. Annually, delays at our land ports of entry cost 26,000 U.S. jobs and $6 billion in lost economic output. Much of these delays are a result of inadequate and outdated port infrastructure and significant staffing gaps within Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Additional CBP Officers placed at high-traffic ports will lessen delays and lead to a significant return on investment in terms of both cost savings and Gross Domestic Product. As the April 2013 National Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events report concludes, adding one CBP Officer at an airport or land port of entry would inject $2 million into the economy and produce 33 new jobs. As the Senate in June passed its version of Comprehensive Immigration Reform (S. 744) and the House continues its debate, it is critical that we capitalize on the economic potential of the U.S.-Mexico border. Ensuring adequate resources and infrastructure at our ports of entry means more jobs and an America that is competitive in the global economic market.
