福克斯新闻独家首发:佛罗里达州共和党众议员拜伦·多纳德斯提出一项法案,要求对所有进出美国的人员进行生物识别追踪,这是共和党打击签证逾期滞留和伪造移民文件行动的一部分。
在唐纳德·特朗普总统第二任期内非法越境人数大幅下降的背景下,共和党正转向移民执法的下一阶段——追踪签证逾期滞留者并填补文件漏洞。多纳德斯的法案旨在推动全国范围内全面启用生物识别出入境系统,并由联邦政府对该系统进行监督。
多纳德斯独家接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时证实,他已于周一提出这项立法。
“得益于特朗普总统的果断行动,我们的边境比几十年来任何时候都更安全。我们现在正着手完成这项工作,提出《通过生物识别技术改革移民法案》,该法案将提供必要的监督,确保所有出入境人员都能得到充分核查。”多纳德斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

该法案将填补漏洞,确保覆盖所有入境口岸,要求国土安全部向国会提交报告,从而更新系统运行情况并找出“拖慢系统进度”的症结所在。生物识别数据系统会采集指纹、面部图像和虹膜扫描信息。
移民改革是特朗普第二届政府的核心议题,官员们正将注意力转向境内追踪和执法漏洞,而非仅关注边境越境问题。
生物识别出入境系统于十年前首次推出,此前2004年9·11委员会曾建议通过全面追踪手段加强国家安全。

往届政府未能在所有入境口岸全面推行该系统,导致系统覆盖不全。2025年12月发布的最终规则现已要求在全国范围内推广该系统。
多纳德斯的立法旨在通过问责国土安全部,确保此次系统能得到全面落实。
“边境已经得到巩固,但工作远未结束。”多纳德斯在一份新闻稿中表示,“签证逾期滞留和伪造文件仍是整个非法移民难题中亟待解决的重要部分。”

作为接替任期届满的佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯的州长候选人,多纳德斯表示他预计该法案将“迅速获得通过”。
“共和党人坚定恪守美国人民赋予我们的使命。”他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

Byron Donalds cracks down on persistent border blind spot leaving US vulnerable to overstays

The bill would require DHS to report to Congress on biometric tracking gaps at every port of entry

FIRST ON FOX:Florida Republican Rep. Byron Donalds introduced legislation that would require biometric tracking of every entry and exit from the United States, as part of a Republican push to crack down on visa overstays and fraudulent immigration documents.
With illegal crossings down sharply under President Donald Trump’s second term, Republicans are shifting toward the next phase of immigration enforcement — tracking visa overstays and closing documentation loopholes. Donalds’ bill aims to force full nationwide use and federal oversight of the biometric entry-exit system.
Donalds told Fox News Digital exclusively he introduced the legislation on Monday.
“Thanks to President Trump’s decisive actions, our borders are more secure than they have been in decades. We are now moving to finish the job by introducing the Reform Immigration Through Biometrics Act, which provides the oversight needed to ensure every entry and exit is fully verified,” Donalds told Fox News Digital.

The bill would close gaps to ensure full coverage at every port, provide system flow updates and identify what is “slowing” it down by requiring DHS to report to Congress. The biometric data system collects fingerprints, facial images and iris scans.
Immigration reform is a central focus of the second Trump administration, with officials shifting attention toward internal tracking and enforcement gaps, not just border crossings.
The biometric entry-exit system was first introduced a decade ago, following a 2004 recommendation from the 9/11 Commission to strengthen national security through a comprehensive tracking method.

Previous administrations failed to fully implement the system across all ports of entry, leaving it incomplete. A final rule issued in December 2025 now mandates a nationwide rollout.
Donalds’ legislation aims to ensure it is fully executed this time by holding DHS accountable.
“The border has been secured, but the work is far from over,” said Donalds in a press release. “Visa overstays and fraudulent documentation remain a large piece of the overall illegal immigration puzzle that needs to be addressed.”

Data from the Border Patrol cited by Pew Research found there were 237,538 migrant encounters at the Mexican border in 2025. It is the lowest number since Richard Nixon was president in 1970 when 201,780 were encountered.

Donalds, a candidate for Florida governor to succeed term-limited Gov. Ron DeSantis, said he anticipates “swift passage” of the bill.

“Republicans are steadfast in our commitment to the mandate entrusted to us by the American people,” he told Fox News Digital.
