Description

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a multibillion dollar proposal on Monday to increase biometric scanning during the immigration process. The proposal would expand the agency's authority to take fingerprints, DNA, facial and iris scans.

The proposal is estimated to cost $288.7 million annually and $2.5 billion over the course of 10 years. The department estimated it will increase biometric scanning to more than 3 million people.
