This event has passed.
Despite significant investment on immigration enforcement and the availability of a variety of data sources, the federal government has generally failed to develop and report a comprehensive set of performance indicators that measure the effectiveness of its efforts to combat unauthorized immigration. A new report from the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) suggests a slate of border security metrics that, if reported consistently over time, would allow policy makers and the public to objectively evaluate the success of our border and immigration enforcement efforts.
Following opening remarks by former DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff, an expert panel offered its perspective and insights on the importance of border metrics for measuring the success of immigration enforcement.
