This is not such a bad idea. Especially for high "over-stay" countries. Maybe we should require them to check in while they are in the country. Too bad it would just eventually be abused to use against citizens if we did that.

>The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to apply to enter the United States, a move that may make the process unaffordable for many.
In a notice to be published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, the department said it would start a 12-month pilot program under which people from countries deemed to have high overstay rates and deficient internal document security controls could be required to post bonds of $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 when they apply for a visa.
