ercent surveillance of the entire border, and apprehending
90 percent of border crossers or would-be crossers -- or getting them
to turn back to Mexico -- in sectors where the majority of
unauthorized entries take place.As of the end of the 2010 fiscal year,
the Department of Homeland Security reported achieving some level of operational
control of 44 percent of the nearly 2,000-mile border, according to a
Government Accountability Office report this year. Operational control was
defined as the ability to detect and respond to cross-border illegal activity.In
one border sector cited by GAO, the busy Tucson sector, 64 percent
of people who managed to make it across the border were apprehended
in 2011, while 23 percent turned back to Mexico and 13 percent
got away. That meant the sector stopped or turned back 87 percent
of crossers, close to the 90 percent level sought by the legislation.The
new goals would be achieved by giving the Department of Homeland Security
six months from the bill's enactment to create a new border security
plan deploying the personnel, infrastructure and technology needed to achieve
the 90 percent effectiveness rate. Also within six months, the department
would have to create a plan to identify where new fencing is
needed on the border. Once those plans are certified, people living here
illegally could begin to apply for a provisional status allowing them to
work here legally.If the 90 percent rate of apprehensio

A House panel voted overwhelmingly Wednesday in favor of a new
data-sharing program that would give the federal government a broader role
in helping banks, manufacturers and other businesses protect themselves
against cyberattacks.The bill, approved 18-2 by the House Intelligence Committee,
would enable companies to disclose technical threat data to the government
and competitors in real-time, lifting antitrust restrictions and giving
legal immunity to companies if hacked, so long as they act in
good faith. In turn, companies could get access to government information
on cyberthreats that is often classified.It's a defiant move by pro-business
lawmakers who say concerns by privacy advocates and civil liberties groups
are overblown. But even while the panel's approval paves the way for
an easy floor vote next week, the legislation has yet to be
embraced outside the Republican-controlled House. Last year, a similar measure
never gained traction and eventually prompted a White House veto thre
