US-VISIT falls short

The Department of Homeland Security's US-VISIT program has achieved "only the bare minimum" in tracking foreign travelers through the nation's 50 busiest land ports of entry, according to a new report by the department's inspector general.

Fewer than 3 percent of all foreign visitors who enter the United States at land border crossings have their identities verified and checked against a database to ensure suspected criminals or terrorists are not allowed in the country, according to the report.
