The Border and Transportation Security (formerly the Immigration and Naturalization
Service) has developed initiatives that include border enforcement and interior
enforcement, most notably additional personnel to support an enhanced Entry/Exit
Program. As a direct result of these initiatives, the Executive Office for
Immigration Review (EOIR) anticipates an increase in immigration judge caseload
by an estimated 6,000 cases, and Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) caseload
by 800 appeals annually. To successfully adjudicate the anticipated increase
in cases, EOIR requires 28 additional positions. |

As part of the overall reorganization of the Department, the Attorney General
has published a final rule restructuring BIA. The restructuring will reduce
the number of BIA members, streamline adjudication of cases, and additionally
result in related savings in administrative expenses. |

The Department continues to evaluate its programs and operations with the
goal of achieving across-the-board economies of scale that result in increased
efficiencies, reduced duplication of effort, and cost savings. The crosscutting
savings identified are the result of the consolidation of facilities management,
including field space, the centralization of telecommunications network
operations and support, and improved deployment of human resource personnel. |
