Here's an update about what is going on with US-VISIT. The secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge during a conference said this:
Finally, after languishing for decades, a true biometrics-based entry-exit program has become a reality. US-VISIT was launched on January 5th, and since then more than 200 criminal or immigration-law violators have been nabbed. In the coming year we'll extend US-VISIT beyond airports and seaports to our busiest land ports of entry.
I'm no expert on what I think is a good amount of "nabbings", but I think that sounds pretty good.
Remarks by Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge at the American Association of Port Authorities Spring Conference.
