Polish troops are preparing to deploy to Afghanistan. One thousand Polish soldiers help lead NATOs mission there. The United States is blessed with few allies as stalwart as Poland. but we tell a grandmother in Gdansk she needs a visa to visit her grandchildren in America. What will it do? This amendment will allow Poland and any other EU country with troops in Iraq or Afghanistan today to join the visa waiver program for 2 years on probationary status. It will allow Polish citizens to travel to the United States for tourism or business for up to 60 days without needing to stand in line for a visa. Shouldnt we make it easier for the Pulaskis and Marie Curies to visit our country? We know our borders will be no less secure because of this amendment. but we know our alliance will be more secure.
