Immigrant Registration Program Abandoned
The program was a flop. No terror leads were obtained. Good riddance.
The United States has ended its requirement men from 25 mostly Muslim countries register with the authorities every year they are in the country. The program has yielded no terror leads, U.S. Undersecretary for Border and Transportation Security Asa Hutchinson announced Monday.
A new program will take its place January 6. Officials say it will track individuals instead of groups of people.
Angela Kelley, deputy director for the National Immigration Forum, says the news is a bit of a "break in the clouds of the storm" but we're still "far from a sunny day."
