The purpose of this analysis is to check if there is a significant relationship between the Border Patrol budget and the number of apprehensions at the border. The results of the research indicate that the two variables are closely linked, and the trend is that with the increase of the budget, the number of border apprehensions drops. The results were analyzed in two phases during 1990-2000 and 2001-2011. For both periods, it shows that the connection between the two chosen variables is statistically strong. However, factors such as political, social and economic resulted in a different correlation between the Border Patrol budget and the number of apprehensions for the two phases analyzed
