The government does not effectively measure its border security programs well and does not know whether costly programs work, according to a new audit.
A review of a more than two-decades-old comprehensive report for how to secure the southwestern border of the United States found that the Department of Homeland Security is still facing challenges in this area.
An audit by the inspector general released this week analyzed a 1993 study by the Sandia National Laboratories, which is operated by the Sandia Corporation, a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin that contracts with the Department of Energy.
The report found that while Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has taken steps towards border security, the agency has mismanagement issues that have undermined its "overall efficiency." In fact, in some areas CBP's performance measurement is "nonexistent."
The inspector general also cited border fencing as the "most significant factor contributing to decreased illegal alien and narcotic smuggling," as multilayer barriers were a major recommendation in the 1993 report.
The audit reviewed measures taken since 2003 and found that Customs and Border Protection "has instituted many border security programs and operations that align" with the Sandia report's recommendations. . .
