Created by scientists and researchers from the University of Arizona, the artificial agent is called an AVATAR (short for Automated Virtual Agent for Truth Assessments in Real-Time). His job is to screen border crossers without prejudice or bias while freeing human agents to address more pressing matters, said Aaron Elkins, one of the scientists who developed the AVATAR.

Researchers with the Department of Homeland Security science bureau and the UA’s Technology Center for Excellence are working with Tucson’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection field office to test it.

Interesting yes, at least there can't be screams of racial profiling by using it. Athough I wouldn't put it past the open borders lobby to try and claim some sort of discrimination by its use.

My thoughts exactly. Watch, they'll say it's been programmed to racially profile, or other such nonsense. Nothing short of having open borders will satisfy the cheap labor globalists.

Wasted money. Do the Irish, Russian, Chinese cross the Mexican border to enter the US illegally? How can racial profiling or discrimination be claimed when it's Mexicans and South Americans passing themself off as Mexicans crossing the Mexican border?
