We passed a bill that said: Listen. if you have been traveling to some of these countries in the Middle East where terrorism is running rampant today. you are not going to get a free pass into America. We are going to want to look at your background before we tell you to come on in. Now. that seems fair. Mr. Speaker. if you are from one of these countries and you have been traveling through these countries where terrorism is running rampant. where there is case after case after case of terrorists leaving those countries and performing deadly acts around the globe. before we just let you in. which is what the Visa Waiver Program is. It says: Come on in. We are not going to do a background check on you.
