It is a long process. I will be honest. If I were a bad guy over there. one of these ISIS folks trying to get into the United States and create mayhem. there is no way I would want to wait 2 years. go through a refugee program. and probably get bounced out somewhere along the line through all these background checks and access to intelligence databanks and personal interviews. I think I would find another way to get here. and there are other ways to get here. We have been talking about that more recently today and yesterday. One of the potential ways to get here is through what is called the Visa Waiver Program. It is an agreement we have with 38 different nations. The Visa Waiver Program started a number of years ago. and it has now grown to include 38 countries. It started off as a travel facilitation program. kind of like the TSA precheck or the global entries we have at the airports here in the United States. It started off as a travel facilitation program. and over time it has turned into an information sharing partnership with 38 different foreign countries.
