Have you heard about this? I hadn't until I received the information today. It sounds like another great step in reducing terrorism in ours, and other countries.

H.R. 158, the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015, introduced by Rep. Candice Miller (R-MI), amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide enhanced security measures for the visa waiver program (VWP).

SGT (Join to see) I had not heard about H.R. 158, the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015. When I first saw your post I was thinking about VISA credit cards - perhaps the effects from too much pain medicine.
I am glad to learn that the bill introduced by Rep. Candice Miller (R-MI), amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide enhanced security measures for the visa waiver program (VWP).

LTC Stephen F., No,Sir, it's not too much pain medicine. When I first started reading this, I was thinking what does Visa credit card have to do with immigration. Lol

“Today, there are more than 30,000 foreign fighters from over 100 countries in Syria and Iraq – the largest convergence of jihadists in world history – with 5,000 of them have Western passports. In fact, we know that several of the ISIS attackers in Paris had Western passports, meaning they could have entered the United States without a visa. That’s what this bill is designed to stop. We need to strengthen the security of the Visa Waiver Program to keep terrorists from reaching our shores.”
– Chairman Michael McCaul

SGT (Join to see) you are welcome, but in all honesty I have no trust of most government entities to handle anything at this point, not with the partisan and oeverlooking laws and regulations themselves. They need to become accountable, there is zero efficiency and plenty of corruption at all levels right this moment, proven time and time again by responses like this Ms. Burriesci, the IRS (Lois Lerner), the AG (Holder) and his contempt to a congressional hearing, the 9/11/12 attacks and how they went after the video guy, instead of telling the truth about the attack, while POTUS and the SOS were busy fundraising in Vegas, or just not answering requests for more security. So, no, I have no trust at this point

SSG (Join to see), I've never felt this way before about our government, or maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention. But, I don't trust anything we are told. We're told what they think we should hear to smooth it over, and make things just hunky dory, and everything is under control and bla bla bla. ISIS Is contained, Iraqi soldiers are doing their part where our troops aren't as involved in the training, and Yada,Yada,Yada. Bull shit!
