DNA testing more common for immigrants coming into U.S.

U.S. immigration officials are increasingly relying on DNA testing for immigrants who are trying to bring in family members into the U.S. DNA testing is usually done as a last resort and is used in a very small fraction of immigrant petitions yearly. Nonetheless, a few politicians have called for an expanded use of DNA testing, such as New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg’s idea to create a national DNA or fingerprint database for all U.S. workers.

Thank you for all the information! It's better reading about Latin America from a personal blog rather than other international medias.

Glad you like it, though please keep in mind that a lot of the articles I site are from "international" media outlets.

Best of luck with your respective blog!

!! As if we don't have enough useless and intrusive information on people as it is. DNA, TIA, FBI, CIA. Big brother in the age of steroids.
