The Secure Border Initiative
(SBI) was a program created by Secretary Chertoff of DHS to organize the four operating components of border security: Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). SBI has 3 main operating goals: improve border security, increase interior enforcement of immigration and customs laws, and implement a Temporary Worker Program (TWP).
The only commitment that DHS has currently made is to pay for a 28-mile *pilot section* of SBInet in the Tucson sector of the Arizona-Mexico border.
The cost of this pilot section is estimated at $67 million. The value of Boeing’s three-year contract to build SBInet across both the northern and southern borders is estimated between $2 and $2.5 billion.
