Just a couple days ago, I blogged about a loophole in the 9/11 Commission bills (S. 4 and H.R. 1) that were in the conference committee. Check out my previous blog for the details, but the short version is that there is currently a visa waiver program that relaxes the screenings of travelers from nations that are "friendly" to the U.S. Despite known problems with this program, these bills include an expansion of that program, which will allow terrorists to come here far more easily.
NumbersUSA is reporting that the committee did not remove the visa waiver expansion, and they're requesting that people call their Senators and Representatives TODAY to ask them to 're-commit the conference committee report back to conferees to strip out the visa waiver expansion'. A vote is expected in the House any day now, with action in the Senate following shortly after that. Contact info is, as always, at the top right side of this blog page.
Congress is gambling with our national security for the sake of tourism profits, and they should hear what you think about that.
There's my two cents.
