>> i've been with gao for, since 2002. >> all right. so that's 11 years? >> yes. >> surely you have an opinion on what is likely to work. i mean, because you probably are following the debate just like the rest of us are. before you get to any other aspect of immigration reform, they want to make sure the border is secure. that's an easy phrase to use, but it's a hard phrase to implement. so what is a realistic definition of a secure border? >> what we've recommended is that the department of homeland security set a goal for its border security efforts and then set metrics for assessing progress made against those, against that goal. dhs is in the process of developing those goals and measures and we've suggested that they set time frames for completing those goals and metrics so that there are mechanisms in place for assessing what the goal is for border security and how that can be measured. >> why is there not current will hi a goal, or am i just naive? >> up until fiscal year 2011, dhs was using operational control as its performance goal and measure f

the house homeland security subcommittee heard from the gao which related cases of theft, sleeping on the job, and allowing friends and family to bypass screening. the subcommittee chair said sometimes the penalties have been too light including letters of reprimand in the cases of theft. >> according to the recommended penalty, range on tsa's table of offenses and penalties or theft or unauthorized taking, a letter of rent manned is not included. >> the gao report says the number of reported misconduct cases went up 25% between 2010 and 2012. >>> senator diane feinstein is speaking out about controversial surveillance programs in an editorial with "the washington post." she calls for greater transparency and privacy protections. however, she says the nsa's collection of phone records has prevented terrorist attacks. she's calling for making some of that information public. she also says phone record shz only be kept for two or three years rather than five. >>> facing heavy pressure the california public utilities commission is proposing new rules for regulating ride sharing services.

the second report that i want to go over is the report to the gao. this report included all the required communications that [speaker not understood] we have to report back to the city's governing body. these items that i have listed on the slide are very typical of any [speaker not understood] communicationses that you may see. i do want to point out that the first item, the equal tate i have access of accounting practices, this is the item where we would list any significant estimate included in the city's financial statement. and the -- any funds for the [speaker not understood] that may be included. in the report we have estimates related to the city's pension as well as opab benefits and those are disclosed in 9a and 9b of the city's c-a-f-r. and i'll also go over an upcoming accounting standard that will change the presentation of these benefits in the near future. the other items included in this include current new findings. so, we have in relation to the city's financial reporting, we do have a material weakness relating to the successor age

after gao reported low level.dhs changed the policy to make the number of quote, unquote, apprehension, the measure of effectivenesses. the number of apprehensions which dhs uses as metrics now does not indicate whether federal government efforts to secure the border are actually achieving operational control. they are not. one of the fundamental questions i have is if the rise in apprehension -- apprehensions is increasing, does that mean the border is more secure? or does it mean the border is less secure in the number of apprehensions is declining. does it mean it's less secure or the border more secure? i asked the attorney general this question. the attorney general holder said you cannot draw conclusions based solely on apprehension. i asked the secretary of homeland security who didn't give a they are row answer to that question. it's something we need to explore. not to play goch got you. come up with a metric we can live with. when the metrics change you can't compare them to past performance. that's some

and it a gao audit into dozen 11 found it was even better. 99 percent accuracy. that means about 450,000 people who are legit get flagged as illegal. that is awful. >> first of all, they don't get the job is the issue. you know what, this is not 100 percent. it is not 100 percent. @%t it just depends. you want an answer? that is my question. you actually want to do something about it all would you rather have, as you said, labor foe that is affected only by markets? demand. people come. the wwge rates and lowered because they're ia lot of demand. so be it. john: what's wrong with that? >> well, what is wrong with it? okay. how about the millions of americans whose wage rates are depressed and/or the people who are displaced. the employer like that and a lot of consumers would like it, but the workers are oing to be negatively affected. john: what about the americans to do have just because their work for gloria who were tse businesses created by emigrants. >> let them keep working. immigrants, we are not trying to stop every immigrant from coming into the country

a gao report shows there's a 26 percent increase in the number of agents who are accused of wrong doing between 2010 and 2012. that number rising between 2700 to more than 3400. 20 percent of the cases involve, listen to this. workers falling asleep or failing to follow protocol. a third of the tsa screeners showing up late or not showing up at all. others report stealing. half of all agents accused of wrong doing received minor punishment like a reprimand letter. they will have two hearings today for misconduct. >> major league baseball expected to announce suspensions steming from the bio genesis probe last week. they plan on suspending alex rodriguez and 8 other players who allegedly obtained ped from the anti-aging clinic in florida. most players are expected to be suspended for 50 games but a rod faces harsher penalties for lying. a rod's attorneys says he will appeal any suspension. >> they will have a long-awaited hearing and testimony they get from a former top force commander on the issue of the benghazi terrorism attacks. george bristol will meet with the house armed services

the voluminous reports that have been written after word by the gao, by inspectors general, outside groups, they often highlight a really big disconnect between how clearly everything looked on paper and how poorly it worked in practice. so that underscores, to me, two important points that i deal with in the book. one is that it is very difficult to predict exactly how these agencies are going to work because you're creating a living thing. it has a life of its own to some degree. you can't predict some things but not everything. the other point which runs through the entire book is this a very powerful question of what we mean will we say we want to protect ourselves. our security. and there was ambiguity a complicated response, and that was the have this is a c been created first and foremost to deal with terrorism or is it surely in of hazards is as it has to be ready to do americans as well? of course nobody would deny that the responsibility of fema extended to hurricanes, but it was also pretty clear her own testimony, led the statute was written and the statements in the white hous
