TSA sign allows ID-less migrants to skip photo at U.S. entry, sparking concerns of America’s destruction
Migrants Entering U.S. at Miami Airport Exempt from Photo Requirement
A photo taken from Miami International Airport revealed a surprising notice from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). According to the notice, migrants entering the U.S. at the airport were not required to provide a photo or have their picture taken in order to gain entry into the country.
Political commentator Dave Rubin captured the photo and expressed his disbelief on Twitter. He wrote, “This is the state of absolute insanity happening at our airports. I’m in the Pre-TSA line, where migrants don’t need an ID to pass through security, and they can choose whether or not to have their picture taken. There seems to be a plan to destroy America.”
The sign displayed at the airport read, “U.S. airport Non-U.S. Citizen Document Validation Using CBP One Technology.” CBP One is a mobile application launched in October 2020 to assist immigrants in scheduling appointments at ports of entry. Learn more about CBP One here.
The sign further explained:
TSA is collaborating with CBP to test the use of CBP One at specific TSA checkpoints. This is to validate the travel documentation of adult non-U.S. citizens who do not possess an acceptable form of identification.
Here’s how it works: 1. Inform the TSA officer that you are a migrant. 2. The TSA officer will take a photo (optional). 3. If requested, provide your alien identification number or biographic information. 4. Follow the officer’s instructions.
Photo capture is voluntary. You can decline to have your picture taken. However, even if you choose not to have your photo taken, you must still provide your alien identification number or biographical information to the TSA Officer.
CBP One only verifies the information you previously provided to CBP and does not store your information. Similarly, TSA will not store your information as part of this process.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection highlighted that they made updates to the CBP One application to streamline the photo capture and scheduling process. These updates required individuals to submit their information separately from scheduling an appointment. The application will remove the vulnerability requirement by April 29, 2023, in preparation for the end of Title 42. Additionally, starting May 10, 2023, the CBP One application will allow more time to complete the appointment request process.
What is the rationale behind exempting migrants from the photo requirement in the Pre-TSA line?

This announcement has sparked controversy and concern among the public. Many have questioned the rationale behind exempting migrants from the photo requirement while U.S. citizens and other travelers are still subject to the traditional security measures.
The TSA has stated that the purpose of this exemption is to facilitate the entry of adult non-U.S. citizens who lack acceptable forms of identification but have previously provided their information to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through the CBP One mobile application. By collaborating with CBP and utilizing the CBP One technology, the TSA aims to validate the travel documentation of these individuals without requiring a photo.
According to the sign captured by Dave Rubin, migrants entering the U.S. at Miami International Airport are required to inform the TSA officer of their migrant status. They can then choose whether or not to have their picture taken. If requested, they must provide their alien identification number or biographic information to the officer. The photo capture is voluntary, but the provision of identification information is mandatory.
The CBP One technology is designed to verify the information that migrants have previously provided to CBP, and it does not store their information. Similarly, the TSA has assured that they will not store any information obtained through this process.
While the intention behind this policy may be to streamline the entry process for migrants, it has raised concerns regarding potential security risks. Critics argue that exempting migrants from the same level of scrutiny as other travelers may compromise national security. They fear that individuals with malicious intent could exploit this loophole to enter the country undetected.
Proponents of the policy argue that it is a necessary step in ensuring the fair treatment of migrants and providing a more accessible pathway for their entry into the United States. They assert that the exemption is only applicable to migrants who have already undergone a thorough screening process by CBP and have provided their information through the CBP One application.
The TSA and CBP must carefully balance the need for efficient entry processes with the imperative of maintaining national security. As the debate surrounding immigration policies continues, it is crucial to address concerns on all sides and find a solution that prioritizes both security and the fair treatment of migrants.
