It is something we depend on for our economy. but our economy also depends on the security of a travel system to catch bad actors before they reach the shores of the United States. Currently. manifests are checked by Homeland Security when passengers board a plane bound for the United States. Airline personnel perform some checks as well. but when no U.S. visa is required for travel to the United States. there is less scrutiny on those travelers before they reach U.S. shores. when they go through customs. This is something we sought to address. With an everchanging security landscape around the world and the challenges that we face with ISIS. it is very important to continue to upgrade our security regime. Earlier this week. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper warned that ISIS is likely to try to attack the United States this year. so we must continue to do everything we can to make our country safe. Two incidents highlight the need for expanding the border protection outside the United States of America. One EU citizen. Mehdi Nemouche. was radicalized through multiple stints in prison.
