Illegal immigration has been a long-standing problem. In Feb. 1994, the Attorney General announced a broad, five-part strategy to strengthen enforcement of the nation's immigration laws. This report focuses on one of those strategies -- to deter illegal entry along the southwest border. It addresses: what the strategy calls for; actions taken to implement the strategy along the SW border; whether available data confirm the strategy's hypotheses, with respect to expected initial results from the strategy's implementation; & the types of indicators that would be needed to evaluate the strategy to deter illegal entry along the SW border.
The Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, located in the Justice Dept., provides assistance and coordination services for 93 U.S. Attorneys (USAtt). In practice, the USAtt exercise a large degree of independence and discretion in the handling of their cases. This report covers: how the Justice Dept. communicates national priorities to the USAtt; how selected USAtt establish their priorities and coordinate them with law enforcement agencies in their districts; and what, if any, measures the Justice Dept. uses to assess USAtt's effectiveness in meeting national priorities.
