The Trump administration is sharply increasing financial incentives to expand the U.S. Border Patrol and customs workforce, offering bonuses of up to $60,000 as part of a broader effort to accelerate hiring and retention across border enforcement agencies.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is seeking to add 8,500 employees using roughly $4 billion allocated under President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, including $285 million earmarked specifically for recruitment and retention bonuses.
