Biometrics program could worsen border waits
from Border Report Live · host borderreportlive
With U.S. Customs and Border Protection set to launch a biometrics data gathering system, researchers in Tijuana believe the program will create longer waits for commuters. CBP plans to launch the program on Dec. 26. It will require officers to photograph and fingerprint all non-citizens leaving or arriving in the United States. In this episode of Border Report Live, we discuss how CBP will gather biometric data for those with U.S. resident status, visas, seasonal workers and even children. José María Ramos García, a professor Colegio de la Frontera in Tijuana, fears the gathering of the biometrics will take additional time and add to further delays for thousands of people who cross the border daily, especially those in vehicles.
