Akunamaphepha? E-US ngokungemthetho? Awunayo i-ID ekhishwe uhulumeni? AWUNAWO NAMNYE umazisi? Udinga ukungena endizeni? Ayikho inkinga! Vele uzitholele incwadi egunyaza ukuboshwa noma yokuxoshwa eMnyangweni Wezokuphepha Kwasekhaya futhi ukulungele ukugibela noma iyiphi indiza yase-US!
Ngokusho the I-US Transportation Security Administration (TSA), abafokazi abangekho emthethweni manje sebevunyelwe ukusebenzisa izincwadi zabo zokuboshwa nokudingiswa “njengenye i-ID” ukuze bagibele izindiza zezentengiselwano e-US.
Encwadini yanamuhla eya kuKhongolose uLance Gooden (R-Texas), I-TSA ukuqinisekisile ukuthi nakuba izakhamuzi zase-US kanye nezakhamuzi ezihlala unomphela ezifuna ukundiza zidinga ukukhombisa 'i-ID yangempela' ekhishwe uhulumeni enesithombe esifanayo ezikhumulweni zezindiza, "I-Warrant for Arrest of Alien" kanye "Nencwadi Yemvume Yokususwa/Yokudingiswa" ekhishwe UMnyango Wezokuphepha Kwasekhaya (i-DHS) zibhekwa njengezindlela ezamukelekayo “zokunye umazisi” kwabangebona izakhamizi ezingekho emthethweni, okumele badlule “kuhlolweni olwengeziwe.”
"I-TSA uzibophezele ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi zonke izihambi, kungakhathaliseki isimo sokuthuthela kwelinye izwe, zihlolwa kusengaphambili ngaphambi kokuba zifike esikhumulweni sezindiza, isimo sazo sokuhlolwa kusengaphambili kanye nomazisi kuqinisekiswe ezindaweni zokuhlolwa kwezokuphepha, futhi bathole ukuhlolwa okufanele okusekelwe engcupheni ngaphambi kokungena endaweni eyinyumba ye- isikhumulo sezindiza,” I-TSA Umqondisi uDavid Pekoske wabhala.
U-Pekoske wengeze ngokuthi inombolo kamazisi etholakala ku- DHS idokhumenti ihlolwa ngokumelene ne-US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Uhlelo lokusebenza olulodwa lweselula, isizindalwazi se-TSA's National Transportation Vetting Center (NTVC), noma kokubili.
Mayelana nesilinganiso salo msebenzi, incwadi kaPekoske yathi i I-TSA kucutshungulwe abantu okungezona izakhamuzi ezingu-45,577 nge-NTVC - okuyizi-44,974 kubo amadokhumenti abo aqinisekiswa - futhi "cishe kwabangu-60,000" nge-CBP One, phakathi kukaJanuwari 1 no-Okthoba 31, 2021.
"Impendulo ye-TSA iqinisekisa ukuthi abaphathi beBiden babeka ukuphepha kwezwe lethu engcupheni," kusho uGooden. “Abantu bokufika abangaziwa nabangakahlolisiswa akumele baze babe sezweni, ingasaphathwa eyokuhamba ngendiza bengenazo izimpawu ezifanele.”
UGooden uthumele uphenyo ku I-TSA ngoDisemba 15, ngemuva kokuthola umbiko ovela kwisikhulu seBorder Patrol sokuthi DHS ngokuvamile kufanele "kuthathe abafuduki ngokwezwi labo ukuthi bayilokhu abathi bayikho" lapho bebanikeza imibhalo i-ejensi manje ethi iyawamukela njengomazisi osemthethweni.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- Gooden sent the inquiry to the TSA on December 15, after he received word from a Border Patrol officer that the DHS often has to “take migrants at their word that they are who they say they are” when issuing them documents the agency now says it accepts as valid ID.
- In today’s letter to Congressman Lance Gooden (R-Texas), TSA confirmed that while US citizens and permanent residents seeking to fly need to show a federally issued ‘real ID' with a matching photo at airports, the “Warrant for Arrest of Alien” and a “Warrant of Removal/Deportation” issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are considered acceptable forms of “alternate identification”.
- “TSA is committed to ensuring that all travelers, regardless of immigration status, are pre-screened before they arrive to the airport, have their pre-screening status and identification verified at security checkpoints, and receive appropriate screening based on risk before entering the sterile area of the airport,” TSA Administrator David Pekoske wrote.
