Immigrant Issues: Mexico's government is not pleased with new memos from the Trump administration requiring people who arrive in the U.S. illegally over the Mexican border to be deported back to Mexico even if they're not Mexican nationals. The country may refuse to cooperate--and it has a lot of leverage. Meanwhile, former DHS secretary Janet Napolitano has emerged as a champion of Obama-era programs protecting undocumented students. But the next big policy fight might be over legal immigration, if lawmakers embrace nationalist sentiments that seek to keep everyone out. Such sentiments were a major reason why Rumana Ahmed, a Muslim woman who served on the National Security Council under Obama, chose to leave the White House eight days into Trump's presidency.
Inside the airport of 2040 where there are NO security queues thanks to super-fast 'molecular scanners'
The miserable experience of fumbling for lost boarding passes and endless queuing at airports could finally be a thing of the past, as airports of the future will feature biometric tickets, virtual assistants and fast molecular security scanners. Designs for how airports could look in 25 years have been revealed - and they're not pie-in-the-sky because they include technology that is already being trialled and developed. The research shows how check-in - a major source of queues and frustration for travellers - will become an automated doddle by 2040.

In order to be issued with this token, each traveller will be scanned for biometric identifiers unique to them, such as iris patterns.
