(TRUNEWS)-The House will consider action Tuesday on the U.S. visa waiver program that allows 40 % of foreign visitors to enter the U.S. effortlessly.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy expects the bill to pass, due to bipartisan support, he told CNN.
The program permits citizens of participating countries to travel to the U.S. without a visa for up to 90 days, when they meet certain requirements. Fox News has reported the program has allowed 20 million people from 38 countries to visit the U.S.
The bill being voted on in the House will end visa-free visits from people who have been in Syria, Iraq, Iran or Sudan in the past five years. Other nations could also be added.
But, the measure will require self-reporting, which causes some to be skeptical, as a terrorist is unlikely to be truthful.
Some also say the bill doesn't go far enough. In the recent Paris attacks, some of the terrorists had French and Belgian passports. Both countries participate in the visa waiver program.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Republican Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) are calling for a tougher stance. They have proposed legislation which would require all visitors traveling to the U.S. for the first time, to undergo biometric fingerprint and photograph screening.
“Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Republican Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) are calling for a tougher stance. “
Now there’s the political “odd couple,” a Secular Progressive/Marxist/ rich Jew and a two-bit Mormon sellout!
:-)
Now let’s work on the ones who are already here.
Internal poll numbers must be , OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“”The bill being voted on in the House will end visa-free visits from people who have been in Syria, Iraq, Iran or Sudan in the past five years. Other nations could also be added.””
It took 4 sentences in to find out what was going to be voted on - why not put the 4th sentence first?????
36 Americans are dead and maimed for life in CA, but Feinstein is going to now get tough.
These people are betraying frauds who've flat out lied to the people all while they became very wealthy.
Thee Trump Effect. Love it.
Go Trump
Exactly! I would love to see all who received Muslim money get their just reward by a through FBI investigation under a president like Donald Trump - on a BAD hair day!
Internal poll numbers must be , OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHA. I was thinking the same thing.
They’re nothing but political whores. They’re not doing it to keep us safe. They’re doing it to capitalize on some yet unseen poll.
Exactly! First they denounce him, then they slowly start to implement what he said.
Hypocrites!
I doubt it will happen. The Visa Wavier Program is reciprocal. If we require visas, then we will have to get visas to enter those countries. It could seriously affect tourism and business.
***which causes some to be skeptical, as a terrorist is unlikely to be truthful.***
Ya think?
Hi, my name is Talfeen and I am here to wage jihad and kill your people.
Remember, Obama said she came through the Visa Waiver program and then they edited out “waiver” from the official transcript. They think we’re too stupid to catch it the first time, or go back and watch the video.
Gee, ya think?
What? What? The House is working to PROTECT AMERICANS rather than their big donor friends? Never thought I'd see the day...
Thank Trump. He's already having major affect on our national politics.
House passage means nothing. Harry Reid will filibuster it and if it does get thru the Senate, Obama will veto it.
