The Homeland Security Department
continues to dole out hundreds of millions of dollars a year in
overtime to its employees without being sure it is justified, despite
years of warning that valuable tax money is in danger of being wasted.
The vast majority of the overtime is being spent on overburdened border patrol agents and has been distributed over the years through what is known in bureaucratic parlance as Administratively Uncontrollable Overtime (AUO) payments that get little review, according to internal audits and reports that have flagged the lax oversight as far back as 2007.
