suggests that the division of customs and immigration inspectors from their

"Abolishing the INS and moving its functions into this new department was
meant to correct the fundamental problems that existed within the INS itself.
The old INS had multiple and sometimes conflicting roles -- as provider of
immigration services, and enforcer of immigration laws. In doing so, the Administration also created a new entity called
ICE, which contained the customs and immigration enforcement agencies -- who
investigate crimes as opposed to inspecting cargo and people crossing the
border.

welcome and thank each of our distinguished witnesses for appearing before the
Subcommittee to discuss this important issue with us. In addition, it appears that at
least some of ICE's very troubling budget shortfalls over the last two fiscal
years have been attributable to erroneous budget allocations that occurred
upon the division of CBP and ICE into two discrete components of the Border

WASHINGTON, House Homeland Security Chairman
Christopher Cox delivered the following statement at today's Subcommittee on
Management, Integration, and Oversight hearing on the possible merger of U. Customs Service -- both of which were transferred to DHS
-- have been reorganized in a way that is optimal in order to improve our
immigration security efforts. The Homeland Security
Act abolished the INS and split immigration services from immigration
enforcement. Utilizing its re-
organization authority under the Homeland Security Act, the Administration
acted in January 2003 to merge the customs and immigration border inspection
and patrol functions, along with agricultural inspections functions, into what
is now CBP. Some observers also have suggested that the distinction
between the 'interior enforcement' activities of ICE and the 'border security'
functions of CBP are artificial constructs that contribute to needless
administrative overlaps, programmatic turf battles, mission gaps, and
sometimes dangerous operational conflicts.
