One is its going to alienate the travel and tourism industry in the United States that relies a lot on foreign travelers. they spend a lot of money in this country. And. frankly. right now visiting America is a bargain. It is one of the best vacation packages you can buy compared to costs in Europe and so on. And what you do by cutting these funds. you would prohibit funds from this act from carrying out the Visa Waiver Program. Now. within that program is also the ability of DHS sharing information with the State Department. maintaining records of these visawaiver applications. Remember. you have to apply for that.
