Improving Existing Immigration
22. The Administration Will Reform And Expedite Background Checks For
Immigration. Current mechanisms for conducting immigration background
checks are backed up, slowing processing times and endangering national

address the backlog, and the FBI and USCIS are working together on a
variety of projects designed to streamline existing processes so as to
reduce waiting times without sacrificing security.
