Name two CBP enforcement priorities during traveler inspections.

• A. To collect tariffs on all imports
• B. Detecting and interdicting illegal entrants and contraband; facilitating legitimate travel and commerce
• C. Deporting every noncitizen at entry
• D. Inspecting only cargo

Answer: (B)

During traveler inspections, CBP focuses on two main goals: detect and interdict illegal entrants and contraband, while facilitating legitimate travel and commerce. This means officers verify identity and admissibility, screen for illegal entry or prohibited goods, and stop anything that could pose a threat. At the same time, they strive to move trusted travelers through efficiently, ensuring lawful travel and smooth movement of legitimate goods. The emphasis on both security and facilitation reflects the dual mandate: protect the border without unduly hindering legitimate travel and trade.
