I think any border wall money would disappear into the pockets of cronies
Give ME 14 million, I could provide at least 20 new hires...

And they haven't come close to spending the $1.2B authorized last year.

Sham of an administration.

Wow this is pretty bad.

The Trump administration paid an astonishing $13.6 million to a private company this year to increase border protection staffing by just two agents, according to a scathing report by a federal watchdog that called for “immediate” action to rectify “serious performance issues.”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection granted Accenture Federal Services — a subsidiary of the global Accenture consulting company headquartered in the tax haven of Dublin — a $297 million contract last year to boost staffing by thousands in the wake of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on the border and immigration.


The company is “nowhere near satisfying its 7,500-person hiring goal over the next 5 years,” declared the report released last week by the inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security. “Further, CBP has used significant staffing and resources to help Accenture do the job for which it was contracted. As such, we are concerned that CBP may have paid Accenture for services and tools not provided.”

CBP “risks wasting millions of taxpayer dollars on a hastily approved contract that is not meeting its proposed performance expectations,” the report concluded.

The firm has already been paid $13.6 million. But when the inspector general audited the company’s actions, it discovered that as of Oct. 1 — more than 10 months into the contract — Accenture had successfully processed only two accepted job offers. In addition, it did so largely using CPB resources instead of its own, the report said.

Sorry for the dumb question - where exactly did the money come from?

Trump can't find someone to work for him in he WH, or keep the ones he has.

Why aren't the out of work Trump supporters who want the wall built lining up for this job?

U.S. Customs and Border Protection budget, I would think? Part of giant DHS appropriation that Trump/Pelosi/Schumer were arguing about.

You would think there would be more than two out of work coal miners in West Virginia who would love to opportunity to shoot at Mexicans. Maybe it will cause them to lose their disability payments.
