WASHINGTON – President Donald J. Trump's plan to use biometric checks
- such as fingerprints or iris scans - for everyone entering or leaving
the United States would cause massive backups at the Canadian border,
according to the general manager of the Peace Bridge Authority.
"This would just devastate Western New York," said Ron Rienas,
general manager of the Peace Bridge Authority, after reviewing the
provision requiring biometric scans. "It would shut down the border. It
just makes no sense."
In an executive order issued Friday, Trump calls for the biometric
checks. It was included in tough new restrictions on immigration and
refugee admissions.
The executive order states: "The Secretary of Homeland Security shall
expedite the completion and implementation of a biometric entry-exit
tracking system for all travelers to the United States, as recommended
by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States."
