British and Germans. come here to Afghanistan from faraway places." This story further confirms. Mr. Speaker. what we already know: Terrorist forces are recruiting from the Western World. the same countries who are established members of our visa waiver program. I feel that we cannot continue a loophole that allows homegrown European terrorists access to the United States. Mr. Chairman. the visa waiver program was only designed to be a temporary program for a small and select group of nations. starting with the U.K.. Japan and France. Now. 27 countries participate in the visa waiver program. believe me. enough to keep ICE and TSA exceedingly busy. Do we really need to fund efforts to add a 28th and 29th country to their list of responsibilities? I just dont want to see our Nation attacked because we couldnt carry through with our commitment to security first.
