MARITIME
SECURITY
Goal C2:
Eliminate the flow of
undocumented
migrants entering the U.S.
via maritime routes.
FY99
Target: Hold the flow of
undocumented
migrants entering the U.S. via
maritime routes to no
more
than
13%
of potential entry attempts.
Measure:
Migrant
success
rate =
number
of migrants entering U.S. via
maritime/number
potentially
bound
for U.S. via maritime.
Measurement
Issues: Data obtained from
Coast
Guard
data
bases
and
the
Immigration
and
Naturalization Service. It is validated by
program
managers.
Confidence
in the
measure
is moderate.
Selected
Program
Standards/Customer
Service Standards:
Monitor high threat areas sufficient to detect
40%
of all vessels
engaged
in or
suspected
of alien smuggling.
Intercept
90%
of
known
alien
smuggling
events detected at sea.
Respond
to all
known
alien
smuggling
events in progress.
Causal
Factors to be
Addressed:
Smuggling
via maritime routes is a convenient
and
efficient
method
of
transporting
undocumented
migrants into the U.S.
Maritime borders are
more
difficult to control than entry points
such
as airports
and
highway
border crossings.
Undocumented
migrants can be hidden
aboard
vessels
engaged
in legitimate
trade or disguised as legitimate
crewmembers.
Strategies to Achieve Target:
Ongoing
Strategies:
Establish
agreements
with source countries to assist in reducing
migrant flow. For example, aircraft overflight authority granted by
Dominican
Republic in 1996,
and
the resulting deterrent effect,
contributed significantly to the
decrease
in the
Dominican
migrant
success
rate.
Continue to maintain a
presence
in the maritime environment to deter
smugglers
and
reduce the flow of migrants.
Deploy
Coast
Guard
assets to source
and
transit zone nations for
engagement
and
training to
enhance
regional forces' ability to prevent
migrant smuggling.
Deployments
will include
UNITAS
training
and
assistance cutter
deployments
with the U.S. Navy to the Caribbean;
and
training assistance to the Haitian
Coast
Guard
Use
research
and
development
to improve vessel detection capability,
resulting in better
probability
of detecting illegal smuggling.
New
Strategies:
Improve tactical effectiveness by
employing
new
aircraft
mounted
sensor
system.
Establish a
Caribbean
International Support
Tender
to provide assistance
to
and
enhance
the operational capability of
Caribbean
regional
maritime forces to better
address
migrant smuggling.
