Department of Homeland Security Strategy for International Programs Act
(Sec. 2) This bill directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to submit a comprehensive three-year strategy for international programs in which DHS personnel and resources are deployed abroad for vetting and screening persons seeking to enter the United States.
The strategy shall include:
- specific risk-based goals for such programs;
- a risk-based method for determining whether to establish new international programs in new locations, given resource constraints, or expand existing international programs;
- alignment with the highest DHS-wide and government-wide strategic priorities of resource allocations on such programs; and
- a common reporting framework for the submission of reliable, comparable cost data by DHS components on overseas expenditures attributable to such programs.
In developing the strategy, DHS shall consider:
- information on existing operations of DHS programs that includes corresponding information for each location in which each such program operates,
- analysis of the impact of each such international program on domestic activities of DHS components,
- the number of DHS personnel deployed to each location at which such an international program is in operation during the current and preceding fiscal year, and
- analysis of barriers to the expansion of such an international program.
