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 Private RallyPoint Member 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).

“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
