In this photo taken Sunday, Feb. 26, an 11-year-old Syrian refugee girl poses for a biometric iris scan in an interview room of the U.N. refugee agency in Amman, the first step in what are typically two years of interviews and background checks ahead of possible resettlement to the West, including the United States.

In this Dec. 16, 2011 photo, police officers check drivers at a sobriety checkpoint in Escondido, Calif. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, police in California can no longer impound vehicles from DUI checkpoints when the driver's only offense is driving without a license. The impounds have been controversial where critics say they are used to drive out illegal immigrants. The American Civil Liberties Union has questioned how much Escondido is making from illegal immigrants whose cars are impounded because they do not have drivers licenses. (AP Photo/Lenny Ignelzi)
