Introduction:
The Department of Homeland Security would have a clear and efficient organizational structure with four divisions: Border and Transportation Security Emergency Preparedness and Response Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Countermeasures Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection BORDER AND TRANSPORTATION SECURITY The Department would unify authority over major federal security operations related to our borders, territorial waters, and transportation systems. It would assume responsibility for operational assets of the Coast Guard, Customs Service, Immigration and Naturalization Service and Border Patrol, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the Department of Agriculture, and the recently created Transportation Security Administration – allowing a single government entity to manage entry into the United States.
