Not likely in our lifetimes: it's not even that way in all of the EU, South America and Asia; and DHS remains paranoid about the idea of airside transits without an opportunity to "process" all for border "security" purposes, including specifically immigration control.

To further ramp up exit controls (beyond that which the US already has), doesn't necessarily require investment as much as it would involve expanding the government workfare workfarce known as DHS/CBP and just flushing down more money that way.
