thanks "tinybobidaho"
I saw this paragraph in there. as follows:
On October 21, 1998, the President signed the Omnibus Appropriations Bill (H.R. 432 into law. The bill delays implementation of Section 110 at land borders and sea ports until March 30, 2001. It also requires that the system implemented at land borders will not significantly disrupt trade, tourism, or other legitimate cross-border traffic.
Section 110 - Automated Entry/Exit Control System
Requires the Attorney General to develop, by September 30, 1998, a system that will:
collect a record of departure for every alien departing the U.S. and match the record against the record of the alien’s arrival; and
allow the identification of nonimmigrants who remain beyond their period of authorized stay.
Section 110 will cause extreme delays at already congested land and sea ports of entry. With billions of dollars in good crossing the border each day, this congestion would have a devastating impact on U.S. trade, discourage incoming tourism and, in turn have a serious impact on U.S. jobs, communities, and the economy as a whole.
