Border Security Technology Accountability Act of 2015

Bill 114 hr 1634, also known as the Border Security Technology Accountability Act of 2015, aims to improve the accountability and effectiveness of technology used for border security along the United States-Mexico border. The bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to conduct a comprehensive assessment of existing border security technology, including surveillance systems, sensors, and communication equipment.

The bill also mandates that DHS develop a strategy for the acquisition, deployment, and maintenance of border security technology. This strategy must include performance metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of the technology in enhancing border security and preventing illegal crossings.

Furthermore, the bill requires DHS to submit annual reports to Congress on the status of border security technology implementation and any challenges or deficiencies that have been identified. This will ensure that Congress is kept informed of the progress and effectiveness of the technology being used to secure the border. Overall, the Border Security Technology Accountability Act of 2015 seeks to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used efficiently and effectively to enhance border security and prevent illegal immigration. By requiring DHS to assess, strategize, and report on border security technology, the bill aims to hold the department accountable for the technology it uses and improve the overall security of the United States-Mexico border.
