Mr. Speaker. as many of my colleagues know. I have been working on legislation to temporarily suspend the Visa Waiver Program until our ports of entry are secure with the technology outlined and required by the 2001 PATRIOT Act and the Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002. For those who dont know. the Visa Waiver Program was established back in 1986 as a temporary program allowing tourists or shortterm business visitors to enter the United States for 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. The program was later made permanent by Congress. and it currently includes 27 countries. The problem with this system is that terrorists are not limited by borders. nationality or even ethnicity.
