Will US-VISIT hurt U.S. trade and tourism?
To the contrary, US-VISIT enhances trade and tourism. By making America a safer place to visit and conduct business, US-VISIT enhances our economic security. In fact, US-VISIT sets an international standard in border security, and other nations are in the process of adopting systems similar to our own. Over time, new tools like the worldwide use of biometric identifiers will speed identity authentication, making check-in/check-out faster and more efficient. It is also hoped that better identity matching at primary processing will mean fewer people will be sent to secondary processing.
