dhs doesn't do it one by one. how about dhs says, it is senseless to do it one by one. we should use categories. here is the category. you've been here for 25 years. you're entitled to, not entitled you can stay unless we change our mind. so that's the category. so smaller category, but you know, there is some, there is a lot of people in it. >> if there was no previous lawful status or eminent lawful status no way congress acquiesced to that. >> wait a minute. that is important. dhs could not say to all people been here for 25 years and perfectly law-abiding, congress can not say to those, you know, tens of thousands of people let's say, not millions, tens of thousands, you, we won't deport you unless we change our minds and you can work, you can feed your families. you can do that. >> justice -- >> dhs coo not do that. >> congress could. >> dhs can not? >> does not have statutory authority, cart blanche to grant -- >> this has nothing to do with the scope of this policy this has nothing to do with oh, how many millions of people in this policy you're saying with respe

could dhs do that? ms. murphy: i think it would it would ultimately in that instance start to become a question of scope and a point at which you have a policy that is inconsistent with the use of deferred action status. because in the past, i mean, there have been this kind of ad hoc de minimis, case by case use of deferred action status. justice kagan: ok. so suppose, then again, same kind of question that i gave to general keller. suppose that there was a policy, but it was of much less significant scope. let's say a policy that said if you've been in the united states for 30 years and you have children here, we're not going to deport you unless we decide otherwise, and you're entitled to work on the books. could dhs do that? ms. murphy: no. there is not any congressional authority that allows it, and there is no past practice like it. justice kagan: but this is very significant, right? no past practice like it? i mean -- ms. murphy: there's not any past practice. justice kagan: what was that family -- m

also within dhs. it was set up to be the integrator, analyzer and innovator of biosurveillance information across the federal government. however it's never fully met this bar. it implemented recommendations to strengthen collaboration with partners, and usda, however we reported last year that persistent challenges still get in the way. for example, most of the primary federal partners those like cdc and hhs told that us that products and activities didn't add value, did not provide new meaning, or did not help them identify biological events quicker. and also still has difficulty getting the data it needs because partners won't share it or there are restrictions to sharing that date. the challenges that it faces is not easy to address. by dhs alone. we've identified options for policy changes. however, these options may require changes in law. and it's not clear that even these would address the challenge. this brings me back to the bigger issue. as we in the blue ribbon panel noted investments and

within dhs.ur report in october found that 12 years after the bio watch program was first employed, their is still not information about its capabilities. this is because it was put in the field so quickly without performance requirements. we have found that because bio watch was not fully tested, it its uncertainties are unknown. we recommend dhs not pursue upgrades until it establishes system performance requirements and tests those. i would like to talk about our work on the national integration center. within dhs. be theset up to integrator, analyzer, and innovator of bio surveillance information across the federal government. however, it has never fully met this bar. they have implemented recommendations to collaborate with the cdc and hhs and usda, however, we reported last year that persistent challenges get in the way. for example, most of its primary federal partners, those like cdc, told us that image product and activities and add value, did not provide new meaning, did not help them i

which, again, as dhs sees as heightening our risk. so, i'm wondering, is this, in your opinion, problematic? is it incongruous as i see it or a different way? >> so, i can't speak to the particular case of the new jersey allocation. but i can say that the urban area security mission of risk scores are figured into the hpp, the hospital preparedness program formula. and that that formula sand those allocations are reviewed annually. so they are adjusted annually. there are many other factors other than risk score which go into the formula, certainly, population, et cetera. given that i am not myself personally responsible for the hospital preparedness program, we can certainly get that to you with a more detailed response. >> yeah i would really appreciate that. maybe we can even meet on it. if it's population, new jersey is the most densely populated state in america. if it's critical infrastructure, we have the most dangerous, they say, couple miles. there is chemical companies, you name it. i just don't see how we can be going down

suppose dhs decided. and in doing it one by one by one also said you're entitled to work on the books. could dhs do that? >> it would ultimately in that instance start to become a question of scope. there has been this kind of ad hoc the minimus deferred action. >> suppose again, the same kind of question, suppose that there was a policy, but it was of much less significant scope, a policya policy that has had a few dents in the united states for 30 years when you have children here we are not going to the port you unless we decide otherwise. you are entitled to work on the books. >> no. there is nothing that allows it. >> this is very significant. >> there is not any. >> there is not. [inaudible conversations] >> that was voluntary departure. a statute on the books at the time that permitted. for a category of individuals. >> cannot have any kind of policy much more limited in this kind of policy that allows undocumented aliens to work. >> congress has passed a statute that says, if you are living in thi

let me just reiterate on the dhs mission. i think it is more critical now than anytime since 9/11 9/11 and has less to do with attacking or dealing with particular groups or individuals and is the role of dhs to ensure that our critical national systems and infrastructure are not only secure, but resilient and then. there's no other agency in government that has that mission. dhs has a critical role whether online or physically to make sure systems are secure and redundant. that goes a long way and frankly making a strong and deterring terrorist attack. the second point i would make, which i didn't make earlier if i don't think we can dump play the strategic impact of smaller attacks that isis perpetrates. we've seen places like paris, brussels in 19 we've run the danger if we defined the threat to a current month of whether or not it is existential and erected to the homeland. we run the risk of missing the adaptation in this thread and the strategic impact over time of what these groups can do to our societies into our laws

we recommend that dhs not pursue upgrades. i would also like to talk about our work in national biosurveillance integration center also in dhs. it was set to be innovator of biosurveillance across the whole federal government. however, it's never fully met this bar. however, we reported last year that persistent challenges still get in the way. for example, most of its primary federal partners, those like cbs and hhs told us that products didn't add value and did not provide new meaning or didn't help them identify biological events quicker. the challenges are not easy to face alone. however, these options may require changes in law and it's not clear that even these would address the challenge. this brings me back to the bigger issue, as we in the blue-ribbon panel noted programs should be evaluated in terms of cost and benefit but also be prioritized against other programs across government as part of a national biodefense strategy. another critical part is using the most recent threat and information to guide decisions. thi

could dhs do that? ms. murphy: i think it would it would ultimately in that instance start to become a question of scope and a point at which you have a policy that is inconsistent with the use of deferred action status. because in the past, i mean, there have been this kind of ad hoc de minimis, case by case use of deferred action status. justice kagan: ok. so suppose, then again, same kind of question that i gave to general keller. suppose that there was a policy, but it was of much less significant scope. let's say a policy that said if you've been in the united states for 30 years and you have children here, we're not going to deport you unless we decide otherwise, and you're entitled to work on the books. could dhs do that? ms. murphy: no. there is not any congressional authority that allows it, and there is no past practice like it. justice kagan: but this is very significant, right? no past practice like it? i mean -- ms. murphy: there's not any past practice. justice kagan: what was that family -- m

texas agrees that dhs has the authority to defer removal of this class of alien parents of u.s.a degree that judgment is not reviewable. what we disagree about is principally whether we also have the authority to authorize them to work and to accrue some ancillary benefits based on that work. >> could ask a question about the scope of your argument lacks under your argument could the president went deferred removal to every unlawfully present in the in the united states right now? >> definitely not. >> why not? >> here are the limits. because the deferred action, over time, that have been built up a set of administered limits, which i'll talk about, and then there's substantive statutory limits. the minister policy limits on these. defer action has always been the lowest priorities for removal. >> i'm sorry, by administrative, evening by the executive branch? >> yes. >> this hasn't been approved by the executive branch prior to this point either, and yet it's a very significant departure. >> i wouldn't agree with that premise, mr. chief justice. but let me walk through it. you'v

dhs has invested at mets as you know. some of these technologies, it if applied in addition to these other behavioral analysis could give you a better sense of what the threats might be. but the long-term is the risk of mitigation and that is what we have in our train system. >> if you could quickly give me one important issue for consideration on which you think there is near-unanimous agreement. mr. zarate: i would say two of them if you give me the indulgence. one is the paradigm of the post 9/11 environment. it has to be operationally applied. they talk about it. but they have to move to an operational preventative mindset to and we have to help them get there. the second thing, for dhs purposes, moving toward systemic defense key critical infrastructure. water, electrical grid, we need to build redundancy around the systems because we know not only terrorists but state and nonstate actors are looking for fun or abilities. only dhs can help drive that in this country. >> in wake of the paris attacks, a new european co

and dhs along the border. during recent visit i made in arizona, i observed the army conducting training missions with its uav fleet, despite trying across the u.s. border, the training missions were not being coordinated with the department of homeland security to surveil the border of homeland activity. not only does military training benefit military readiness by providing realistic training in a real word, operation relevant environment, it can also provide secondary benefit to dhs, counter drug and border security operations by increasing situational awareness. dod and dhs should be working to ensure training missions for uav squadrons around pla platoons. i look forward to hearing your views on north con can contribute to enhancing interagency cooperation along our borders. senator. >> thank you very much. welcome the nominees. thank both their service to the nation and recognize your families who served along with you. i've had the privilege of knowing cindy from the new years, thank you, cindy. and you

but dhs as an entity is improving in those areas. sole-source contracts have decreased over time in a fairly significant way. >> mr. currie? >> yes, sir. in general, i think part of the problem is, a lot of these problems that are so large and complex, and they're not easy to fix. it's not that folks don't want to fix them. i'll give an example. when fema was given all of the preparedness grants, it had to figure out how to manage these. and it didn't have the i.t. systems to do that. one of the things we found, they don't have a way to review cross-grant applications. they were all separate. so implement being a new system is challenging and complex. because of that, these issues require long-term sustained oversight and attention. and that's what we've seen in our work, it's not until it's said over and over and over again and the congress says it over and over and over again and the agency starts paying attention to it and dedicating resources to it, but it doesn't happen quickly and i think this is a good example. >> i like the i

some of the system information, dhs, dhs is invested in some of this as you know.darpa has done so as well from dod, some of these technologies, the applied to other layers of security could perhaps give you a better sense of what the threat may be. the long intent is intelligence and targeting and risk mitigation in an open system. that is what we have in our train system. >> thank you. could you just quickly give me one particular important issue for consideration on which you think there is unanimous agreement? >> i would say if you give me the indulgence, one is a .. you made earlier which is the prediction and prevent paradigm which is really defied the post- 911 environment for the u.s. it really has to be operational and applied in the european context. they talk about it, they talk about your being at war, but they have to move to an operationally preventative mindset. we have to help them get there. the. the second thing if i could start, for dhs's purposes, moving towards systemic defensive key critical infrastructure, you just asked about the train syste
