The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plans to establish a program to strengthen management of the pre-entry, entry, status, and exit of foreign nationals who travel to the United States. The goals of the program, known as the United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT), are to facilitate legitimate trade and travel, enhance national security, and adhere to U.S. privacy laws and policies. By congressional mandate, DHS is to develop and submit for approval an expenditure plan for US-VISIT that satisfies certain conditions, including being reviewed by GAO. GAO was asked to determine, among other things, whether the plan satisfies these conditions and to provide observations about the plan and DHS's management of the program. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-1083/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-1083.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-1083/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-1083.pdf GAO-03-1083 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-1083 Other Written Product GAO-03-1083; Homeland Security: Risks Facing Key Border and Transportation Security Program Need to Be Addressed; Accountability Administrative costs Agency missions Budget outlays Immigrants Immigration information systems Internal controls Noncompliance Planning programming budgeting Program management Reporting requirements Strategic planning Program evaluation Homeland security DHS Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program Title 8 Section 1365a 8 U.S.C. 1365a Title 19 Section 1431 19 U.S.C. 1431 Public Law 104-208 Public Law 106-215 Public Law 106-396 Public Law 107-56 Public Law 107-71 Public Law 107-117 Public Law 107-173 Public Law 107-206 Public Law 108-7
