DHS acquisition programs may continue to be at high risk for waste, fraud, and abuse. This bill will assist oversight committees in better preparing men and women on the frontlines securing our borders, protecting our airports, and defending our shores by making sure we know what works and what is needed before taxpayer dollars are spent. Efficient use of resources within the Department of Homeland Security is crucial to the safety of all Texans, and all Americans especially in regards to border security. The Texas-Mexico border makes up 1,254 miles of the 1,900-mile-long U.S.-Mexico border. The more money wasted on unnecessary overhead costs, the less resources the Department has to fulfill its key mission of protecting our border and our homeland.
