If a person from a foreign country comes to the US for a visit or vacation, are they fingerprinted upon entry?

It seems like this practice started in around 2004 according to the BBC news at that time. It is digital fingerprinting and taking pictures of people's faces as well that is done for all non-US passport holders on visits to the US or green card holders upon re-entry. Unless you are a US passport holder (i.e.US citizen), you will need a scan-able passport and may need to do an online Visa before arrival too.

Since the policies are often changing, check the official USCIS home pageuscis.gov/portal/site/uscis for the most current information on your particular status before entering the US. Most non-US country passport holders must also attain a short-term visa: B-1 for Business trips and B-2 for pleasure trips. travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1... See an overview of the Visa situation on this official US government page: http://travel.state.gov/visa/visa_1750.html The video is a promotional one for the use of digital photos and fingerprinting for security, called "biometrics" Hope this helps, @jjwalsh.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
