"Imposing such conditions on admission is fully consistent with 8 USC 1182(f) which expressly gives the president the authority to 'impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.' It is also more likely to be upheld since it is far less objectionable than a total ban," he said.
Currently, ankle bracelets are widely used by law enforcement and immigration agencies and Banzhaf suggested that it can be expanded and would be accepted by the nation.
"There have now been several major terrorist incidents in which authorities pointed out that they were suspicious of the perpetrator, but did not have sufficient information to arrest him, nor the vast resources necessary to provide effective surveillance of everyone under suspicion. GPS systems incorporated in ankle bracelets permit one agent to track hundreds of suspects in real time, and provide computer generated alerts if he goes anywhere suspicious (e.g., near a nuclear power plant), meets with other persons likewise wearing ankle monitors," he said.
