Legal immigrants frustrated over long wait times while illegal immigrants pour in

Fox News’ William La Jeunesse reports on wait times as long as 26 years to enter the U.S. legally.

The U.S. government has implemented a requirement for migrants without passports to undergo facial recognition technology when taking domestic flights.

Migrants lacking proper photo identification must utilize facial recognition technology to verify their identity against Department of Homeland Security records, according to TSA.

While TSA officials did not specify when the change was implemented, they noted it was recent and not prompted by any specific security threat.

The U.S. government has started requiring migrants without passports to submit to facial recognition technology to take domestic flights under a change that prompted confusion this week among immigrants and advocacy groups in Texas.

We can bet our sweet bippies that facial recognition will soon be required of all Americans to access government properties.

Yeah, that's where I saw this going, too (for all we know, they are already using it).
