Loophole No. 2. This is very important. The enforcement trigger does not require that the U.S. visa exit portion of USVISITthe biometric border check system that records that you have come into the countrywill be implemented. It was required by Congress in 1996. Over 10 years ago. we required that the USVISIT exit system be in place. that is. if you have a visa to the United States for 6 months or 30 days or a year. you come in and present your card. it goes into the computer system. like at the bank or like your timeclock where you work. it clocks you in. and then it clocks you out. If you dlont exit when you are supposed to. red flags can go up that you didnt exit when you were supposed to. You are an "overstay." It is an absolutely critical step in creating a lawful immigration system that will work. It was required to be completed in 2005. Here we are in 2007. and it is not completed.
