A bill to provide for the establishment and implementation of a fingerprint processing system to be used whenever a visa is issued to an alien.

Summary

Requires: (1) the Secretary of State and the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization to jointly establish and implement a fingerprint processing system under which an alien's fingerprints shall be entered into an electronic database when such alien is issued a visa; and (2) the Immigration and Naturalization Service to access the database upon the alien's entry into the United States to certify that the fingerprint of the individual seeking admission matches the fingerprint in the database. Prohibits the alien from being admitted if the fingerprint does not match. Requires: (1) the Secretary to increase visa fees; and (2) the amount of such increase to be used to offset the costs of using the fingerprint processing system.
