as mpi's 2013 report which doors doris and others put out the u.s. spends more on immigration enforcement than all other law enforcement agencies combined. that's $18 billion to cbp and i.c.e. in fiscal year 2014. so this administration has been trying to walk a tight rope in between choosing between tough and humane enforcement, as mark said at an earlier paper this year. but at these funding levels in any administration would have to walk a tight rope in choosing between those sometimes competing goals. so let me summarize a little bit about what this data in this paper tells us about the policy. first, one of the important things that mark's paper brings out is how the obama administration has shifted its priorities to border enforcement. from interior enforcement. and moreover, from this data how they're very different systems and processes they use and the individuals involved. at the border the processes are generally nonjudicial removals out of court. at the interior they are generally in-court removals. at the border, removals are rising. the

i'd like to do three things in my brief time -- mpi. the importance of the work of the last couple of years in helping to understand modern u.s. immigration enforcement. secondly, given this data that's been put out to look into the future and forecast some of the coming debates policy of legislators, and third, to further describe the people in immigration detention that mpi has asked me and my co-author robert coolish at the university of maryland to write which couplets they work on deportation. so first, this is a very valuable paper and it's part of a series of valuable papers that mpi has done over the last couple of years that examine the enforcement system that congress has funded, and particularly in this paper phs prioritization of that funding. under different administrations. but it's worth noting the key driver here is congressional funding. as mpi's 2013 report which doors and others put out, the u.s. spends more on immigration enforcement that all other law enforcement agencies combined. that's $18 billion to cbp and i.c.

i just want to thank mpi for inviting me to participate in today's discussion. i really appreciate the opportunity to be able to discuss some of the gao's work looking at some of the issues and topics related to some of the issues and topics that are raised in mpi's report which are being released today. before i turn to my remarks on some of gao's more specific reports i just want to give you a little bit more background on me and also who gao is in case some of you may not be as familiar about who we are as an agency. so as doris mentioned, i'm a director in gao's homeland and security justice team, and in that capacity i lead our work an border security and immigration issues. gao as an agency is located in the legislative branch. we are sometimes referred to as the investigative arm of congress or the congressional watchdog. and so in that capacity we examine how federal taxpayer dollars are spent and we examine how government programs and initiatives and efforts operate. will of our work is done at the request of chairs or ranking members of committees of j

and so the question is does there need to be work by mpi and by others here about thinking about, okay, if we don't have cir, how do we mitigate some of the serious problems we're having with due process and all the other things that are both on the border and also in the current court system? because the court system has become -- it doesn't work any more, right? and i just want to be clear. i'm not defending the immigration system of the united states. i've spent nine years trying to fix it. what i'm trying to do is i think that the administration has tried to make things better given that they've also never believed that they have to deal with the current system, they thought they were going to change it and reform it. and there wasn't intellectual thinking about how to mitigate and manage the current system because we didn't think we'd still have it. we thought we'd have this better system. so the final point i just want to make because we're running out of time and it's related to this and there's been some fun stuff on twitter based on my comments today, is that, is that i just w
