Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds only requirements for periodic independent efficiency audits, cost reviews, and public reporting on Operation Lone Star and border security programs; it contains no provisions that expand, restrict, or alter the underlying immigration enforcement activities, cooperation, crimes, or operations themselves.
