Thread: U.S. Struggles to Nab Visitors Who Overstay

That's not going to happen and as such is not a suggestion of a solution.

Napolitano stated that they will not be able to use biometrics to check them in and out. She said it was too expensive but never mentioned how much it is. I think she mentioned biographic markers? Anybody remember from the Senate hearing?

The only thing else I could think of is tag them. Yup that's right. Put a GPS on their wrist. Any government employee or tourist who loses a GPS, goes to jail. Sounds pretty crude. I know they have been thinking about it for years, so they probably have something that will not be susceptible to so much fraud.

I can't think of anything else at the moment.

I know it's not going to happen, but it's the only way to prevent overstays.
And they aren't going to put a GPS on everyone entering the country either,
so that isn't really a solution either.
If they cut off the GPS you still have the original problem,
"It's a big country so where do you look for them?"
You have to find them before you can put them in jail or deport them.
There are MILLIONS of illegal aliens roaming around the country right now and no one is putting them in jail or deporting them even when they come into contact with law enforcement.
It's almost impossible to get them deported now.

You would need a GPS for each of them every year.
