No not me,McCain lol.In this Q&A he gives a snippet about immigration.
Quote:
STAR: How imperative is it that Congress revisit immigration reform and when would it be feasible?
McCAIN: I still think comprehensive immigration reform is very necessary. We found out by failing twice that unless you have a consensus, you'll fail again. If President-elect Obama wants it to be a highest priority, I'm prepared to join in. It won't succeed unless we get the administration in the loop.
STAR: What is your current stance if Congress does revisit immigration reform?
McCAIN: It's the same as it's always been, but we have to secure our borders. I think we have to have immigration reform to secure the borders, include a guest worker program that works and the use of tamper-proof biometric documents and a path to citizenship for those who have not committed crimes based on the principle that they have no priority over anyone who came to this country legally or waited to come to this country legally.
Not anything new,but should the Dream act pass Homeland Security would STILL require our Biometrics if we were to travel.It would be required upon entry even though you'd have Conditional Residency.
Quote:
The final rule published today in the Federal Register will expand US-VISIT to collect biometrics from:

• The U.S. lawful permanent residents or “green card” holders.

• People seeking admission on immigrant visas.

• People seeking admission as refugees and or seeking asylum.

• Some Canadian citizens.

• Those who apply for admission through the Guam Visa Waiver Program.

In many cases, Canadians will still not be required to give their biometrics when entering the U.S, nor will non-U.S. citizens under the age of 14 and over the age of 79.

The final rule also makes permanent an interim final rule that required the collection of biometrics from foreign nationals who seek admission under the U.S.’ Visa Waiver Program and travelers arriving at some land entry points, DHS said.
