Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act

The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act, enacted in 2002, aims to improve U.S. border security and visa processes after the September 11 attacks. It mandates advanced technology for tracking foreign visitors, stricter background checks, and better coordination between government agencies. The act also enhances protections against terrorism by implementing new guidelines for issuing visas and monitoring entry into the country. Overall, its goal is to enhance national security while facilitating the legitimate movement of people across U.S. borders.
