Anyone visiting the country from countries deemed “higher risk” will be interrogated and fingerprinted under the scheme.

Under the same programme, some male US non-citizen residents over the age of 16 were required to periodically check in at government offices.

The programme was deemed redundant by the department of homeland security in 2011 after claims it was unfairly targeting immigrants from Muslim-majority nations.

The Republican, who won election victory over Hillary Clinton on November 8, could seek to introduce the controversial measure without seeking congressional approval.

Kris Kobach, an adviser to the billionaire tycoon, revealed the Trump team is going to “hit the ground running” with some of his most controsversial policies.

The Kansas secretary of state said Mr Trump, who initially called for a “total and complete shut down of Muslims” entering the US, will instead opt for a system of extreme vetting after his shock White House win.

The process, he said, would be applied to new arrivals from countries where extremist groups are active.

The senior Republican also suggested the US would bring back the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS), a policy briefly implemented in the aftermath of 11 September attacks.
