President Trump is talking about implementing biometric checks…such as fingerprints or iris scans…for everyone entering or leaving the United States.
If that comes to pass, it would cause massive backups at the Canadian border and reduce traffic flow over the Peace Bridge in Buffalo to a trickle. Â According to the Buffalo News it could devastate the Western New York economy if it became too much trouble for Canadians to come to the region.
This could also hit the Rochester-Finger Lakes tourism industry, which invests substantial money in bringing Canadian visitors into the region.
The biometric checks are mentioned in Trump’s immigration executive order.
