Cutting-Edge Migration Control: The Importance of Implementing Biometric Technology to Address Irregular Migration in Peru
Edison Rosas Ore

Thematic field: Information Technologies.
Abstract: This research aims to describe the importance of implementing biometric technology to address irregular migration in Peru. The research methodology was based on a qualitative approach, classified as basic because it seeks to generate new knowledge; descriptive, non-experimental, and cross-sectional, with a sample of 8 police officers from the Immigration Division. Data collection was carried out through a focus group. The results of this study reveal the deficient migration control procedures, the lack of compliance by authorities, and, above all, the absence of innovation in migration control processes. The study concludes that there is a clear need to develop a system integrating biometric technologies in order to adequately register and control migrants in irregular situations in Peru.
Keywords: migration control; irregular migration; border security; biometric technology.
