Beck 307: in 2002, "the government increased the budget and swelled the ranks of the Border Patrol, which now lived under the parent agency Customs and Border Protection (CPB)"
"On March 1, 2003, the US Customs Service, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and the entire US Border Patrol were reorganizaed under the same new parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security"
in the end, "[t]he Border Patrol became perhaps the most powerful and ubiquitous domestic law enforcement agency in the country"
