Global Entry

Mexico, U.S. Agree on Trusted Traveler Program (http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7020678731?Mexico,%20U.S.%20Agree%20on%20Trusted%2 0Traveler%20Program - broken link)
This is an interesting statement from the article.
The program thereby gives Customs and Border Protection agents more time to focus on searching other travelers and their baggage, or what Napolitano called the “greatest risk.”

Blake Mora said about 84 million Mexicans could qualify for the Global Entry program.
“It facilitates the entry of business travelers and tourists, whose activities are key factors for economic development, growth of trade and cultural exchange,” he said.
It also facilitates the export of drug criminal from Mexico.

Napolitano and Blake Mora also signed a “letter of intent” to develop a plan for protecting immigrants from attacks by criminals as they cross the border.
