Ukuvikela kanye Nokusiza Amazinga Okurekhoda Ohwebo Nokuhamba
I-CBP igxile ekwehliseni izithiyo zohambo olusheshayo, olusebenzayo noluvikelekile lokuya nokubuya e-US, okusekele ukukhula okungamaphesenti angu-16 kwabafikayo bezindiza zamazwe ngamazwe kusukela ngo-2009. Ezikhumulweni zezindiza, izikhulu ze-CBP zicubungule abahambi bamazwe ngamazwe abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-102, ukwanda okungaphezu kuka-4. amaphesenti kusukela ku-FY 2012. Sekukonke, ngo-FY 2013, izikhulu ze-CBP zacubungula abahambi abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-360 ezikhumulweni zezindiza zase-US, zasemhlabeni nezolwandle.
Njengomphumela Wesu Lokuthuthukisa Izisetshenziswa le-CBP, i-ejensi iyaqhubeka nokuletha intuthuko kwezobuchwepheshe kanye ne-automation emachwebeni okungena:
• Ukuzenzakalela Kwerekhodi Lefomu I-94 Ukufika/Ukusuka kukhulisa ukusebenza kahle futhi kusiza ukuphepha nokuhamba kuyilapho konga imali elinganiselwa ezigidini ezingu-19 zamaRandi ngonyaka.
• Izindlela zokucubungula okungenamaphepha kanye nabagibeli eziqondile, njenge-Automated Passport Control kiosks, zethulwa ohlelweni lokufika kwamazwe ngamazwe ngo-FY 2013 ukuze kwenziwe lula inqubo yokuhlola abahambi, ukunciphisa izikhathi zokulinda, nokuthuthukisa ezokuphepha.
• Ubambiswano lukahulumeni nezizimele, olufana neSivumelwano Semali Ebuyiselwayo YeSigaba 560, lukhulisa ikhono le-CBP lokuhlinzeka ngezinsizakalo ezintsha noma ezithuthukisiwe ngesisekelo sembuyiselo ukuze kusekelwe ukukhula kwezohwebo nokuvakasha okuwela imingcele futhi kubhekelele yonke imisebenzi ye-CBP emoyeni, emhlabeni nasolwandle. .
