Thank you for your opinions. It took me 2-3 hours (with mostly being deciding) to post this.
If you google on the Brazil article header, you find 1 result (Iraqian site?), on the US one 749 results. I was going to include that but was biased towards the Brazil article. Now I'm not sure.
It was argued in the beginning after 9/11 that the US government knew this would happen and would use this to destroy freedom of speech (well, or maybe it was "perform nazi like actions"). That has probably been discussed a million times already, so sorry for even mentioning it.
I didn't know those things about Brazil, thank you.
Now this article:
Visit to U.S. a snap, scan for travelers
Is there a logical explanation for the 27 excludees, and the mention here of criminals?
I'm not sure what that means.
There are a million things I don't know, so I apologize. -_-

Quote:[...]The US-VISIT system, designed to intercept terrorists, wanted criminals and visa violators, allows U.S. Customs officials to check passengers instantly against terrorist watch lists and a national criminal database.[...]

Quote:[...]US-VISIT will not be in place along all land borders in Mexico and Canada until December 2005. The majority of the 500 million people who enter the United States each year come across land borders.[...]
I'm not sure what that means.
