Jim is a selfless public servant. and has been an effective leader at the Department of Homeland Security. USVISIT is a continuum of security measures that keep Americas doors open and our Nation secure. USVISIT begins overseas. at the U.S. consular offices issuing visas. where visitors biometrics are collected and checked against a database of known criminals and suspected terrorists. When the visitor arrives at the port of entry. USVISIT use the same biometrics to verify the person at the port is the same person who received the visa. Jim understands that strong security measures. when done right. keep the Nation secure and open to legitimate travelers and tourists. He has had the vision and followthrough to oversee the installation of biometric entry procedures at 154 land border ports of entry and at airports and seaports with international arrivals. In tum. USVISIT has processed nearly 60 million visitors to date. and denied entry to more than 1.100 criminals and immigration violators. At the same time. USVISIT has not affected wait times at the border and in some instances has actually reduced inspection times.
