Summary
Securing A Fast Entry at the Border (SAFE Border) Act of 2002 - Authorizes the Attorney Generally to fully and permanently implement any pilot program authorized under the Immigration and Nationality Act which provides for dedicated commuter lanes or PortPass programs at land points of entry into the United States for pre-screened, low-risk, frequent travelers. Directs the Secure Electronic Network for Travelers' Rapid Inspection (SENTRI) Pilot Program of the Immigration and Naturalization Service to issue permits for non-commercial vehicle border crossers that shall be valid for not less than two years. Expresses the sense of Congress that the Attorney General should: (1) increase staffing under the SENTRI Pilot Program for actual inspections and necessary administrative tasks; and (2) allocate greater resources to the program to facilitate and expedite the processing of applications for SENTRI.
