US tightens visa waiver program; will you hail Obama?

The Obama administration is tightening rules and adding new screening requirements to a program that lets citizens from 38 countries travel to the U.S. without a visa.

The program now permits visa-free travel for about 20 million people arriving in the U.S.

DHS and the State Department are being directed to prepare a report on any of the 38 countries now part of the visa waiver program that haven’t fully put in place screening and information requirements.

The changes are designed to counter the risk that radicalized Europeans who’ve traveled to extremist hot spots could return home and then make their way to U.S. soil.






Hail to the Chief we have chosen for the nation. Hail to the Chief! We salute him, one and all. Hail to the Chief, as we pledge cooperation, in proud fulfillment of a great, noble call. Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander. This you will do, that's our strong, firm belief. Hail to the one we selected as commander. Hail to the President! Hail to the Chief!
