What this bill would do
This bill, known as the ``Border Workforce Improvement Act'', aims to require an assessment of staffing needs at the southern border. The Secretary of Homeland Security must coordinate with the leaders of CBP, ICE, and USCIS to conduct this study. The assessment must review existing staffing models and the reliance on overtime and details to fill gaps. It also looks at factors affecting workloads and identifies gaps in human resources, technology, and risk management. Finally, a report containing the findings and implementation descriptions must be submitted to appropriate congressional committees.
