Presidential candidates urged to debate border controls

South Carolina-based fingerprint scanner firm Integrated Biometrics took the opportunity of a GOP presidential candidate debate in nearby Greenville last Saturday to recommend that the candidates discuss technology solutions to border security problems.IB noted Senator Ted Cruz's remarks during a recent nationally televised debate in New Hampshire expressing his desire to implement a biometric tracking system as part of greater efforts to secure the US border.”We're encouraged by Senator Cruz as well as all the candidates on both sides of the political fence who are showing the wherewithal to embrace our nation's technology innovations as easy-to-implement, sensible solutions to complex problems like border security,” company VP David Gerulski said.According to Gerulski, the concept of border security is easy for Americans to understand, and the idea of using fingerprint biometrics as a means to determine an immigrants true identity – and thus avoid allowing criminals and known terrorists from moving within our borders – is becoming more accepted as the issue makes its way into mainstream conversation.”Biometric-enhanced travel ticketing and screening, sports stadium access protocols, and mobile phone fingerprint security controls are all ways that biometrics are advancing into the American consciousness,” Gerulski said.The firm noted that Identity management solutions help border security forces, law enforcement, and military to quickly and easily identify individuals they encounter in the field without the need for transport to command centres.
