Congress Blasts Homeland Security for Failing to Produce Better Method to Assess Border

Steve Neavling

Democrats and Republicans expressed frustration this week that Homeland Security officials never made good on a promise two years ago to produce more reliable standards to assess border security, the New York Times reports.

Not only did Homeland Security fail to devise an accurate method to evaluate the border, it isn’t even close producing one, the New York Times wrote.

“We do not want the Department of Homeland Security to be the stumbling block to comprehensive immigration reform for this country,” said Representative Candice Miller, a Republican from Michigan who is the chairwoman of the House Homeland Security subcommittee on border security.
