Feasibility of a Border Patrol Auxiliary Volunteer civilian unit could be a force multiplier
WASHINGTON (May 1, 2017) – A new report from the Center for Immigration Studies explores the possibility of augmenting the Border Patrol by forming a civilian auxiliary along the lines of the Coast Guard Auxiliary or the Civil Air Patrol, the civilian auxiliary of the Air Force. President Trump has acknowledged the need for more boots on the ground, calling for the hiring of 5,000 additional agents.
Joseph Kolb, a fellow at the Center and author of the paper, writes that with Border Patrol staffing at the lowest level in seven years and one-third of agents devoted to non-patrol duties, a volunteer force could serve as a needed force multiplier at a lesser cost than hiring more officers. An auxiliary force might also reduce the involvement of militia-like groups that presently patrol the border without coordination with the Border Patrol.
In addition to the Coast Guard and Air Force auxiliaries, dozens of police departments have similar volunteer units. The Department of Homeland Security examined the issue more than a decade ago but did not act. The keys to making such an initiative successful would be extensive training of the volunteers and demonstration of progressively greater job proficiency.
