It won't be primary. A surprising number of people post dumb things, or even talk about their plans to violate their visa conditions while in line for entry. This'll catch a lot of mundane violations, like folks planning on working or permanently residing in the country while claiming they're just visiting for a week. It's very intrusive and I'm against it, but it will be quite effective.
Most people aren't gonna create fake profiles. Or if they do, they'll be suspiciously empty. If someone is gonna go through that effort to get entry they probably can just refrain from posting their plans online in the first place.
- llukas 10y agoYou really think there won't be industry of creating and maintaining fake profiles?

- MichaelGG 10y agoI've seen people talk about their plans to enter under false premises while in line at Houston (IAH). Talking about how they're gonna work as a nanny or whatever. CBP has folks walking around and sometimes they ask spot questions and suss these people out. I imagine the same will happen. People who will go thru the hassle of dealing with a fake profile will just not post about their plans to enter "illegally" in the first place. People prone to writing dumb shit online are probably not going to wise up because of this.

It will be effective initially, but people will catch wind of this and start to purge their Facebook profiles prior to entry. I'm certain that cheap online "Facebook cleaning" services will start to pop up very soon.
