The SAVE Act, also known as Bill 118 s 4292, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to enhance the security of the United States by improving the screening process for individuals entering the country.

One of the key provisions of the SAVE Act is the implementation of a biometric entry-exit system at all ports of entry. This system would require individuals entering and exiting the country to provide biometric data, such as fingerprints or facial recognition, in order to verify their identity. This would help to prevent individuals from entering the country illegally or overstaying their visas.

Additionally, the SAVE Act aims to improve information sharing between federal agencies in order to better track individuals who may pose a security risk. This would involve sharing information between agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of State, and the Department of Justice to ensure that individuals who are deemed a threat are properly monitored and prevented from entering the country. Overall, the SAVE Act is focused on enhancing the security of the United States by implementing stricter screening measures for individuals entering the country and improving information sharing between federal agencies. This bill is currently being debated in Congress and may undergo changes before it is potentially passed into law.
