Summary
Maritime Border Security Review Act
This bill directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to submit to Congress a maritime border (i.e., the transit zone and the borders and territorial waters of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) threat analysis. The report must identify and describe current and potential terrorism and criminal threats from individuals and groups seeking to enter the United States through the maritime border and improvements needed at U.S. seaports and at the maritime border. In preparing the threat analysis, DHS must consider and examine factors such as technology needs and challenges, the geographic challenges of the maritime border, and the impact of recent natural disasters on border security activities.
