A Trump administration proposal requires travelers from visa-exempt countries to provide social media records and other sensitive information. A key member of the Democratic Party warned that the move would jeopardize America's competitiveness against China. The proposed review requirements include providing social media records for the past five years, phone numbers and email addresses, family members' names and residences, and collecting biometric information such as fingerprints and DNA where possible. Representative Raja Krishnamorti is questioning Secretary of Homeland Security Christy Nome to explain what standards the Department of Homeland Security will use to evaluate the collected information, and what analysis the agency has conducted on the impact of this move on the flow of students and tourists to the US.
