Fair enough, but I don't see how this squares up with turning a blind eye to illegals.

They'd better start setting up finger-printing stations along the Mexican Border.

I'm a manager with a large airline. This falls under the U.S. Visit Program. We've been planning for this since late June out here in Honolulu. All international visitors coming through the Federal Inspection Station will have to undergo fingerprint and photographing.

Visitors only. It doesn't apply to invaders.

Hopefully this will include the thousands that get rounded up every week on the borders and then get turned loose - just maybe on the third catch they could be kept locked up until being dropped off at the southern tip of South America!!

GREAT! I'll wait to see the fingerprint stations from the Gulf Of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. WHAT!! This only applies to LEGAL entries? Well forget it. Why am I not surprised.

Um, is this news? (Honestly curious)

This was already happening. A relative is coming to visit, just applied for a visa this week, and... got fingerprinted.

Maybe previously the policy was only for people from certain countries? Well if so I don't see the big deal about changing that policy to apply to all countries.

This was announced ages ago. In Italy, the hotel has to give your passport info to the local police. In Czech Republic, if you overstay the tourist limit, the police come looking for you (as they should).

How about "if you want to enter here you must have a Photo ID on file with HLS".
