(3) increasing deployment of United States 
Customs and Border Protection personnel to areas 
along the international land and maritime borders of 
the United States where there are high levels of un-
lawful entry by aliens and other areas likely to be 
impacted by such increased deployment. 
(b) OPERATIONAL CONTROL DEFINED.—In this sec-
tion, the term ‘‘operational control’’ means the prevention 
of the entry into the United States of terrorists, other un-
lawful aliens, instruments of terrorism, narcotics, and 
other contraband.

OF
SURVEILLANCE
SYSTEMS 
ALONG U.S-MEXICO BORDER.— 
(1) PLAN.—Not later than September 30, 
2007, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall de-
velop a comprehensive plan to fully deploy techno-
logical surveillance systems along the U.S.-Mexico 
border. Surveillance systems included in the deploy-
ment plan must—

tures of surveillance systems allowing for com-
patibility, if practicable, with existing surveil-
