WASHINGTON, D.C. - The latest report from the Government Accountability Office states there's been progress in improving border security in recent years, but that the Department of Homeland Security could make improvements.
Released yesterday, the 24-page document points out the number of Homeland Security personnel has increased from about 24,000 to about 41,000 from 2004 to the end of 2011.
The Homeland Security budget has about doubled from about $6 billion to almost $12 billion, during that same time frame.
However, one of the big problems comes in the area of measuring performance.
"Border Patrol... has not identified milestones and time frames for developing and implementing" performance goals, according to the report.
The Department of Homeland Security said it plans to set a date for establishing such milestones and time frames by November 2013.
