"U.S. Customs and Border Protection has long sought a way to identify the millions of travelers who leave the country each year through land border crossings into Mexico and Canada."
People leaving the country is not the concern here. Nobody who wants to sneak in is going to go through a stupid scanner. How exactly does this keep us from being overwhelmed by illegal border crossers and being forced to turn them loose in the U.S? Wouldn’t it be better to simply deport them while we process their applications?
“As in recent years, a majority (62%) say immigrants strengthen the country because of their hard work and talents. Just 28% say immigrants are a burden on the country because they take jobs, housing and health care, according to a new survey by Pew Research Center.”
Didn’t they have border security/wall funding in exchange for DACA protections last year, and President Trump vetoed it because he wanted more for less?
Is that a reason to leave the borders wide open? Accept anyone? Drug dealers? Human traffickers, Gang members and people who simply want to work for less money then our laws allow?
