Tracking immigrants relies in part on forms distributed by flight attendants
—New Jersey Star-Ledger. "Visitors arriving and departing the country through Mexico or Canada are not recorded. Those entering through U.S. airports must fill out a form, known as an I-94, which is then stapled into their passport. When they leave, the forms are collected by airline workers, who then forward them to the INS. A 1995 report by the U.S. General Accounting Office found that in many cases, the airlines fail to collect the forms, the forms are lost or the handwriting on them is illegible."'
