Description

Summarizes a Dec. 2006 report on the Dept. of Homeland Security’s (DHS) efforts to implement the U.S. Visitor & Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) program at land ports of entry (POE). US-VISIT is designed to collect, maintain, & share data on selected foreign nationals entering & exiting the U.S. at air, sea, & land POEs. These data, including biometric identifiers like digital fingerprints, are to be used to screen persons against watch lists, verify identities, & record arrival & departure. This testimony addresses DHS’s efforts to: (1) implement US-VISIT entry & exit capabilities; & (2) define how US-VISIT fits with other emerging border security initiatives. The author visited 21 land POEs with varied traffic levels on both borders. Charts & tables.
