House of Representatives bill. 1342. the Secure Entry Act. its time to suspend this program. Its not time to suspend USVisit. Its not time to expand the U.S. visa waiver program. as Representative BILBRAY and Senator FEINSTEIN SO Well know. We need to suspend this program and say to those countries. the 27 or any others that we expand to. I am not opposed in the future to expand it if they have those biometric machinereadable passports. and they have done the due diligence before they have given those passports. just like you would with a visa. If somebody is going to come over here for two or three years to study or something. they have to answer something like 40 different questions and all these background checks. Not so with a passport.
