Veterans Border Patrol Training Act

This bill establishes a 5-year pilot program to train and hire transitioning military service members and veterans as U.S. Border Patrol agents. It directs the Department of Homeland Security, in collaboration with Defense and Veterans Affairs, to use the existing Defense SkillBridge program to transition service members into Border Patrol roles. The program requires annual reports tracking participant demographics (including active duty, veterans, spouses, and dependents) and terminates after five years.
