Williams has managed a team to create and maintain the USVISIT program. a critical border management program that collects pointofentry and exit information on visitors traveling to and from the United States. The program uses biometric identifiers and digital photographs to aid legitimate tourists. students and business travelers entering the United States. while making it more difficult for those who might do harm to the United States or enter and stay in the country illegally. Though the job of completing the full installation of USVISIT program is still underway. so far. in two and a half years. it has processed nearly 60 million visitors to date and denied entry to more than 1.100 criminals and immigration violators at our ports of entry. reduced wait times at several land border ports of entry. and provided information to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement leading to the apprehension of more than 200 aliens who overstayed their visas. Mr. Williams has been a model public servant and leader.
