Japan is ready to test a new automated legal (not illegal) immigration system. It’s hoped to speed up the ingress and egress of foreigners coming to vist, work or even live in Japan.
Legally registered foreigners will scan approved ID at electronic checkpoints located in major transportation centers. The test run will use electronic checkpoints at Japan’s international airports.
A new immigrant law goes into effect in November, allowing pre-registered foreigners from visa-free countries to use the electronic checkpoints to enter Japan.
U.S. electronic checkpoint in Houston, Texas
After 2-hundred years of not having to use a passport to cross the borders of Canada, United States and Mexico, the paranoid U.S. instituted the required use of passports. U.S. Customs and Border Protection also uses the Automated Passport Control (electronic checkpoint) system in an effort to speed processing of people who can legally cross the border. However, if you do your research the requirement to use passports, and even the use of electronic checkpoints, has done nothing to affect illegal immigration!
