Suspending Global Entry Won't Save Money
It Will Make America Less Secure

Global Entry is one of the most effective, cost-efficient, security programs the federal government runs. Administered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), it allows pre-vetted, low-risk travelers to move through U.S. ports of entry quickly and securely using biometric technology.

THE RESULT: faster processing for trusted travelers, fewer demands on CBP officers, and a more secure border.
