The Immigration and Naturalization Service's (INS) mission is twofold. First, the agency seeks to prevent aliens from entering the United States illegally and remove those who succeed in doing so. Second, INS provides services to facilitate the entry, residency, employment, and naturalization of legal immigrants. This testimony summarizes GAO's work on management and program challenges at INS. These challenges involve INS' strategic planning process, organizational structure, communications and coordination, financial management, and program implementation. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-GGD-99-148/html/GAOREPORTS-T-GGD-99-148.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-GGD-99-148/pdf/GAOREPORTS-T-GGD-99-148.pdf GAO/T-GGD-99-148 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-GGD-99-148 Testimony GAO/T-GGD-99-148; Immigration and Naturalization Service: Overview of; Immigration or emigration Internal controls Law enforcement Strategic planning Federal agency reorganization Public administration Financial management General management reviews INS Institutional Hearing Program Title 8 Section 1324aet seq.
