o deportation.
  Because terrorism has been inextricable linked with foreigners, many people demanded that immigration be curbed or cut off, until better enforcement and tracking mechanism could be enacted. Since 2001, many foreigners trying to immigrate to the USA have faced longer waits and extensive FBI background checks. In addition worker and vacationers have faced increase scrutiny and visa-processing delays. In 2002 immigration officials began enforcing a 1952 law that required legal permanent residents of the United States to notify officials within ten days of changing their address or face deportation. A new law required that all US identity documents issued to foreigners after 2003 contain fingerprints of facial recognition technology and be temper proof.
  In January 2004, the Department of Homeland security implemented US visit, a new program to track foreign arrivals at nearly 130 airports and seaports.
  By taking fingerprints and photographs of all visitors (except diplomats’ travellers from Mexico and Canada) officials hope to deter terrorists and ensure visa compliance.
