Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds requirements for periodic independent efficiency audits and reporting on Operation Lone Star and border security programs, including their effectiveness at border security goals, resource use, cost savings, and contracts. This is oversight and study of immigration-enforcement programs with no provisions that expand, restrict, or alter the underlying enforcement activities, authority, or policies.
