• THE HOME Office has introduced new automated fingerprinting equipment at its immigration and asylum screening units.

• Last October, the UK opted into a Euro-directive which seeks to establish a central computerised database for comparing the fingerprints of asylum seekers and certain other third country nationals.

• The UK Home Office announced on 21 January 2004 the rollout of new biometric immigration controls, in a moved designed to tackle “unfounded asylum claims from Somali nationals and fraudulent claims by individuals claiming to be Somalis”. Starting in March 2004, visitors coming from Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda will be required to provide a record of their fingerprints at visa application stage. In addition to this, individuals seeking to enter the UK using “1951 Convention travel documents”’ (UN Convention relating to the Status of Refugees) will have their fingerprints recorded and their documents photocopied.
• "The progressive roll-out of biometric technology is a powerful tool in tackling abuse of our asylum and immigration system. ...

• Immigration Hot Topics for 2004 .
• US VISIT Fingerprints and Photos Begin January 5 .
• Immigration Hot Topics For 2004.
• New, potentially far-reaching immigration policies and problems will play out against the backdrop of presidential election year politics. This year’s most immediate immigration hot topics are: (1) the unavailability of H-1B visas for initial employment as early as late January; (2) a major legalization and immigration reform proposal by President Bush; and (3) Department of Labor (DOL) efforts to clean up the labor certification backlog while simultaneously instituting a new, expedited processing procedure known as PERM.
• The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that the H-1B quota for this fiscal year will be reached early in 2004. ...
• A few weeks later, Washington policy wonks more accurately characterized the proposed changes as “earned legalization” after the White House announced that President Bush soon would unveil a comprehensive immigration reform program. ...
• Obviously, the growing Hispanic electorate has a keen interest in immigration reform. Moreover, it is not coincidental that President Bush will announce his immigration reform and legalization program in conjunction with his January trip to Mexico. ...
• Politics, like politicians, is always more volatile than predictable, and comprehensive immigration reform faces many obstacles. ... Additionally, it is unlikely that the Democrats will want the Republicans to get credit for immigration reforms. Likewise, if the Democrats seek to claim this issue as their own by offering a more comprehensive immigration reform program, the Congressional Republican majority will stand in the way. It must also be said, however, that immigration, perhaps more than any other issue, brings about unlikely political bedfellows. Immigration frequently defies party affiliation and standard conservative/liberal labels. Indeed, the “left-right” coalition that sometimes jells around immigration issues actually could result in long overdue improvements in immigration law and policy in 2004. ...

• Instead of pouring additional money into implementing the various outdated and incompatible data systems Congress has authorized in the past, such as the foreign student tracking system, called CIPRIS, Congress should insist that INS and State work toward the goal of one, integrated database that contains identification and immigration data on every visa applicant and allows INS and other law enforcement agencies to track their compliance with the law. While an automated, integrated identification and tracking system for all visa applicants would not guarantee safety from terrorism, it would give immigration and other law enforcement personnel an essential tool to prevent terrorists from being given legal permission to enter the United States in the first place and to locate, apprehend and deport those who overstay or otherwise violate their visas. ...
• Creating an integrated data system with the capacity to store biographical data, immigration status, including the duration of the visa, digital fingerprints and photos of all visa applicants would take approximately one year and cost somewhere around $100 million, according to IBM. ... Even before the integrated database is set up, fingerprints of new applicants should be stored with their biographical information. ...
• The visa would be machine readable, would have a photo on its face, and would have biographical data, immigration status and a biometric identifier encoded in it. ... Fingerprints are used by other law enforcement agencies, so they would be most useful for data sharing. ... Fingerprints also provide highly accurate identity verification. The optimal system would use two fingerprints, which would increase accuracy even more. ...
• The fingerprint would be checked against INS, intelligence and law enforcement records to ensure that the alien has no known terrorist ties, has not previously been convicted of a crime, been deported, violated the terms of a visa or applied for immigration status under a different name. ... Upon arriving at a port of entry to the United States, the alien would show his visa to the Immigration official, who would verify the photo, and then pass the card by the machine reader. ... In order to verify that aliens are not using stolen visas, Immigration officials would need to do random fingerprint verifications. ...

• It also represents the next step in the Government's phased roll-out of biometric technology to tackle immigration abuse. ... From March: * those applying for visas to come to the UK from Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda will be required to provide a record of their fingerprints when applying for a visa. ... * individuals seeking to enter the UK using '1951 Convention travel documents' will have their fingerprints recorded and their documents photocopied. ... Home Office Minister, Beverley Hughes, stated: "The progressive roll-out of biometric technology is a powerful tool in tackling abuse of our asylum and immigration system. ... Together with the roll-out of specialist language analysis, recording the fingerprints of visa applicants from this region is part of a concerted Government strategy to cut fraudulent asylum applications from this region. ... "Dealing with those who are abusing the system is vital to build public trust and confidence in our immigration and asylum policies, so we can welcome those who have a legal right to be here. " The east African biometric visa initiative follows a successful pilot to record the fingerprints of those applying for visas from Sri Lanka. ... Asylum seekers' fingerprints are now also recorded on "Eurodac", the EU-wide database, designed to combat asylum shopping. ... The arrangment will help return up to 100 people a month, and is the result of the co-operation from the Sri Lankan government on illegal immigration, which has contributed to a significant reduction in unfounded asylum claims from that country. The Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc) Bill which is currently before Parliament, seeks to help tackle organised immigration criminals, ensure that criminals do not gain from dishonesty and introduces a new speed and finality to the appeals and removals process. The Bill also contains enabling powers to introduce tagging or tracking to maintain better contact with those subject to immigration control.
