The Southern Border of the United States has been a contentious issue for decades with border policies evolving and changing by which administration is in office. Cartel activity, human trafficking, drug smuggling, and migrant surges happening without notice and under the cover of darkness, and oftentimes in broad daylight.
In order for Border Security to handle these challenges, they must react quickly and with intent to protect our border.
With just under 2,000 miles on our border and only 649 of them having a permanent border structure, implementing rapidly deployable perimeter assets is of the utmost importance for CBP. Creating a hard stop for real threats is where high security fencing and mobile vehicle barrier systems can make the difference.
The environment at the southern border changes often, if not daily. Cartel shits, new smuggling routes, and flash migrant surges keep CPB agents on their toes and a need for solutions to act swiftly and efficiently.
Smuggling routes can shift weekly or even daily. Cartels and other trafficking organizations are agile and vigilant. If one corridor becomes difficult for smugglers they can direct traffic, just miles away, within 24-72 hours. Specifically, human traffic is rerouted often based on intelligence and CPB activity.
Customs and Border Patrol often face migrant surges with high volumes of individuals making their way to either checkpoints or other locations on the border. This has been a major issue, specifically within the past half decade.
Between October 2019 and June 2024, there were reported to be over 11 million encounters with unauthorized migrants attempting to cross the southern US border. The bulk of these being between 2022 and 2024.
CPB is tasked with rapidly creating temporary borders to combat these unauthorized migrant surges.
To combat the high volume of unauthorized migrant surges and ever evolving smuggling tactics at the southern border, CPB needs rapidly deployed assets.
Solutions like the ARX High Security Fence system is a rapidly deployed anti-climb system designed to keep out the threat. This steel post fence with 3-5-8 wire mesh is a galvanized system that stays durable, even in the harsh conditions of the desert. With a 130 mph wind rating, the ARX High Security Fence can withstand even the harshest winds.
The ARX Fence can be deployed at a moment's notice in areas where high traffic volumes of unauthorized migrants and smuggling operations are happening. This gives CPB a simple and effective way to transition their efforts in those areas where operations shift.
Alongside creating a temporary border, the ARX Fence can be utilized as a temporary detention center because of its customizable configuration.
The US Southern Border is and will continue to be a challenging environment for Customs and Border Patrol to secure and monitor. With ever shifting corridors and new tactics from Cartels and trafficking organizations, putting a hard stop for these threats is imperative for a successful mission.
Deploying perimeter security assets like the ARX High Security Fence system can aid in controlling the border and rapidly putting up temporary borders and detention centers.
