What is the impact of the various changes on security that have been made since 9/11 with respect to the entry and visits by foreign nationals? Consider: (a) government re-organization and funding (e.g. DHS, HSC); (b) border officials' access to and use of expanded intelligence about terrorists (e.g. TIPOFF/CLASS; FTTTF); (c) relationship with international agencies; (d) country-of-origin based scrutiny (e.g. CONDOR); (e) occupation-based scrutiny (e.g. IPASS, Mantis); (f) procedural standards (e.g. paper, pre-inspection, waiver); (g) student and other tracking (e.g. SEVIS, NSEERS); (h) strengthened enforcement (e.g. enforcement rates; detention, deportations, removals; state and locals; document fraud, alien smuggling); (i) "code red" response plan. III. Are the relevant competing interests in reducing foreign terrorist access to the U.S. being adequately considered? Are current border security practices safeguarding community, civil liberties, and human rights? Are they hobbling economic freedoms or shrinking U.S. leadership in education, science or technology? Are we spending the right amount of money?
