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:

  1. improve border security

  3. implement a Temporary Worker Program (TWP)

A major component of SBI is SBInet, a program CBP for a new integrated system of personnel, infrastructure, technology, and rapid response to secure the northern and southern land borders of the U.S.
