The man is hitting the ground running.   28m 14th Amendment  Section 1 - All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. HEADLINE: PROTECTING THE MEANING AND VALUE OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP via the White House Website  But the Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States.  The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”  Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further specified through legislation that “a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is a national and citizen of the United States at birth, 8 U.S.C. 1401, generally mirroring the Fourteenth Amendment's text.   Among the categories of individuals born in the United States and not subject to the jurisdiction thereof, the privilege of United States citizenship does not automatically extend to persons born in the United States:  (1) when that person's mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person's birth, or (2) when that person's mother's presence in the United States at the time of said person's birth was lawful but temporary (such as, but not limited to, visiting the United States under the auspices of the Visa Waiver Program or visiting on a student, work, or tourist visa) and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person's birth. 6:35am cst SEGMENT 2   Trump Revokes Security Clearance For 51 Intel Agents  Remember the Hunter Biden Laptop intel agents that said it was Russia Disinformation?  Well Trump took care of them. He is just plowing through them one after another.   Endangered Species Act This was a Democratic platform. Trump signed an Executive Order we will no longer pay for windmills. He shut down and immediately ended the windmill projects off the coast. They were killing whales at an alarming pace. They were killing them w/ sonar and the deep exploration and drilling. Now the Republicans are the savior of the whales.   43m HEADLINE: RESTORING NAMES THAT HONOR AMERICAN GREATNESS via White House Website Restoring the names at all the US bases. Restoring the good name of Robert E Lee and Andrew Jackson.   Arctic National Wildlife Refuge It is no longer. Trump ended that yesterday too. It was to protect the polar bears.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. US bureau chief Jacob Magid and New York correspondent Luke Tress join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Magid discusses the factors that finally pushed forward Israel's admission into the US Visa Waiver Program that will offer an easier visa process to all travelers to the US, including finding solutions for handling security issues regarding Palestinian travelers at Ben Gurion International Airport. He also talks about comments made by former US ambassador Tom Nides, who focused heavily on the program during his 18 months in office, and noted that when Israel wants something, it can figure out how to make it happen. Tress looks at recent calls from US Jewish groups and organizations calling on participating law firms to cut their support for a significant legal award for Navi Pillay, the former UN human rights official who demonstrated a bias against Israel and the Jewish people. Tress discusses the deeply interwoven relationships between Pillay and the top law firms funding the award. Steinberg mentions events taking place throughout Israel for the holiday of Sukkot, including two upcoming shows from US pop star Bruno Mars for Tel Aviv audiences of 60,000 each. She also talks about efforts made by Brown boutique hotel chain to make several of their Tel Aviv hotels more amenable to religious clientele, with kosher kitchens and sukkah huts built on roof decks. Discussed articles include: US admits Israel into Visa Waiver Program, in major boost to bilateral ties Ex-envoy Nides: Visa waiver success proves Israel can make concessions when it wants Leading US Jewish groups decry top legal award for anti-Israel UN official Pop star Bruno Mars makes his way to Tel Aviv for two shows Hip Brown hotel chain embarks on holy quest for Tel Aviv's religious visitors Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Adam Shapiro, advocacy director at Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) discusses the federal lawsuit filed against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) regarding admitting Israel to the U.S. Visa Waiver Program, stating that it is not following the law in applying the definition of reciprocity for Israel. The Waiver has also drawn strong pushback from 4 Democratic Senators who wrote that Israel has failed to meet the requirements of reciprocity for U.S. citizens with Palestinian residency.

This week the United States announced that Israel will be joining a list of countries where the US will dramatically ease the requirements for Israelis to obtain a visa to enter the US, but not everything is sunshine and roses with the program, we'll get into that, and Canada gives a standing ovation to a former Nazi.

All diplomats and other foreign government officials coming to the U.S. to take part in any diplomatic activities on behalf of their government will need to obtain A visa status before entering the United States. The officials cannot travel to the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program or through a Visitor Visa. There are 4 different types of diplomatic visas available to anyone entering the United States on official government business.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. US bureau chief Jacob Magid and feature reporter Melanie Lidman join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Magid talks about former treasury secretary Jack Lew, an Orthodox Jew who is the current frontrunner for US ambassador to Israel. Lew was chief of staff for former President Barack Obama and has been critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the past. Magid also discusses comments made by two Democrat lawmakers who are perturbed that President Joe Biden's White House is moving ahead with the Visa Waiver Program and the Saudi normalization deal for Israel -- two projects that Netanyahu is eager to finalize -- despite the administration's continued frustration with Netanyahu's right-wing government. Lidman speaks about the painstaking renovation work that was undertaken at Jerusalem's Church of Holy Sepulchre in the Old City, one of Christianity's oldest sites. It's a complicated process given the handful of churches that wield control over the holy site. Lidman also talks about an archaeological find near Kiryat Gat, where the region's most ancient city gate was found, unfolding new information about the establishment of cities and urban environments earlier than was previously thought. Discussed articles include: Former treasury secretary Jack Lew frontrunner for next US ambassador Some Democrats ‘dumbfounded' by Biden's willingness to hand major gifts to Netanyahu Round-the-clock excavations at Church of Holy Sepulchre yield historical treasures Discovery of Israel's oldest gate resets clock on local urbanization by centuries Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

This month of may we discuss Automated Passport Control (APC). It is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that streamlines the entry process for U.S. citizens, U.S. legal permanent residents, Canadian citizens, eligible Visa Waiver Program participants, and specific U.S. visa holder travelers, by providing an automated process through CBP's Primary Inspection area. Travelers use self-service kiosks to respond to CBP - inspection related questions and submit biographic information. APC is a free service, does not require pre-registration or membership, and maintains the highest levels of protection when it comes to the handling of personal data or information. Travelers using APC experience shorter wait times, less congestion, and faster processing. In addition, we addressed profiler issues. Enjoy! Cheers. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/therealmiisterparker/message

Today on The Leaders' Brief - Eleven states have backed the US government's complaint that Alphabet-owned Google has acted unlawfully to maintain its dominance as a search advertising platform on the internet. Google is also undergoing a separate antitrust inquiry by State Attorney Generals into its advertising technology and web search. The company is seeing trouble in Europe and Asia, with the EU investigating its data collection, although Google has coughed up $10 billion in three fines since 2017 US President Donald Trump recently tweeted that he has “officially nominated Poland for entry into the Visa Waiver Program.” While experts opine that the Polish government has in the past and continues to ignore the American Democrats, they believe that the possibility of a Joe Biden victory will not have a substantial effect on American-Polish relationships.

A week after Americans and Europeans joined together through virtual events in commemorating the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe (V-E Day 2020), remembering the significant sacrifices of an entire generation fighting for freedom against tyranny, the Croatian parliament co-organized an annual event honoring pro-Nazi Ustasha soldiers of the Independent State of Croatia a fascist regime which forged strong ties with Nazi Germany during the Second World War. On Saturday, May 16, 2020 in Sarajevo, Bosnia, the Croatian parliament sponsored an event to further fuel anti-Semitism and Holocaust revisionism in the Balkans. A separate event was held in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. During the Holocaust, 80% of Croatia’s Jews were murdered under the rule of the pro-Nazi Croatian Ustasha government. In Sarajevo alone, 7,000 out of 10,000 Jews were murdered under the rule of the Croatian Ustasha government. While these public events for May 2020 were reported in advance, the majority of Western diplomats residing in the capital city of Zagreb remained silent. The Western diplomatic appeasement tactic has emboldened Croatia’s anti-Semitic figures. The diplomatic corps using Western taxpayer funds continue to wine and dine Croatia’s politicians mired in corruption. EU and NATO member Croatia is dependent on American taxpayer funds through billions of dollars in direct aid, grants, and favorable loans via the World Bank, EBRD and other entities. How would Americans and Europeans respond if the modern-day Bundenstag — Germany’s parliament would sponsor an event commemorating Nazi soldiers and glorify Adolf Hitler and the country’s dark history? The West must not remain silent in the face of evil when facing Croatia’s anti-Semitic figures fueling Holocaust revisionism. Dr. Ognjen Kraus, president of The Coordination of Jewish Communities said, “The HDZ government has failed to address the rise of anti-Semitism and the display of fascist symbols. It is lenient towards those sympathetic to the WWII Croatian fascist Ustasha regime.” Over the years, Croatia’s politicians have used anti-Semitic laws to block the return of Jewish property and currency stolen during the rule of the Croatian Ustasha government from 1941–1945. Some $3 billion dollars worth of stolen private property and currency ought to be returned to Croatian Jewish families, their descendants and the Jewish community. A principled approach from the West should include legislative action to freeze all taxpayer funded aid sent to Croatia via EBRD, The World Bank and NATO related military assistance and to censure Croatia’s politicians. The US State Department ought to block the visit of Croatian politicians, anti-Semitic figures, and individuals tied to Croatia’s criminal and corrupt networks to enter the United States of America. Croatia’s government officials have been lobbying through Washingtom, D.C.-based groups including think tanks to expedite its entrance into the U.S. Visa Waiver Program. America’s elected officials should block Croatia’s entry into this special designated visa program. The US Homeland Security’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ought to take a leadership role in carefully vetting visa applicants from Croatia. The world is watching. Principled leaders and engaged citizens within strong rule of law nations have a responsibility to act. We owe it to the six million Jews and the 80% of Croatian Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust.

Radio RAMPA visited US Ambassador to Poland Georgette Mosbacher in her residence in Warsaw. The interview took place on November 13, exactly a week after the Visa Waiver Program for Poland was announced, and two days after it started being effective.Ambassador Mosbacher talks about the backstage of the decision on including Poland into the Visa Waiver Program – our country was waiting for that moment for over two decades. How did it happen so quickly? What steps had to be made? How the date of November 11 was chosen?Ambassador Mosbacher also talks about her memories associated with Poles, about Polish-American alliance and what’s next in her agenda. She describes her cooperation with Polish government: Monika Adamski, the editor in chief of Radio RAMPA, asks Madam Ambassador if there is anything that troubles her in Poland and if there is anything in Poland, that she would want to see at home? Ambassador describes Poland as a strong NATO leader in the Eastern flank, and appreciates what Poland has achieved for the last 30 years.Ambassador is also asked how does she respond to the situation in the United States – how in her opinion President Donald Trump deals with the impeachment proceedings?At the end, Ambassador talks about her values, what keeps her in line when it comes to dealing with difficult people and situations and her most memorable “NO” moments.

Prezydent Polski Andrzej Duda udzielił wywiadu Radio RAMPA w Pałacu Prezydenckim w Warszawie.W wywiadzie, który przeprowadzony został po włączeniu Polski do Visa Waiver Program, a także zaraz po zaprzysiężeniu nowej kadencji rządu, Prezydent odpowiada na pytania dotyczące Polonii amerykańskiej, ale również spraw bieżących.

Radio RAMPA gościło w rezydencji Ambasador USA w Polsce, Georgette Mosbacher, 13 listopada - zaledwie tydzień po formalnym ogłoszeniu przyłącznia Polski do Visa Waiver Program, a dwa dni po tym, jak Polacy mogli rozpocząć składanie aplikacji w systemie ESTA . Ujawniamy kulisy ogłoszenia tej decyzji - kto decydował o dacie? Jak wyglądał proces zniesienia wiz od strony praktycznej? Pytamy co dalej w kwestii relacji polsko-amerykańskich? Co teraz będzie priorytetem Ambasador Mosbacher?Pytamy o relacje z polskim rządem, o to czy Panią Ambasador coś w Polsce czy polskiej polityce niepokoi? Co Pani Ambasador ceni w Polsce? Dowiadujemy się, że według niej, Polska w ciągu trzydziestu lat osiągnęła więcej niż niejeden inny kraj, a także, że to Polska jest, według Ambasador Mosbacher, liderem NATO we wschodniej flance. Nie jest zmartwiona o wolność polskiej prasy.Pytamy również o sytuację w USA - jak Prezydent Trump radzi sobie z procesem, który ma na celu postawić go w stan oskarżenia?Monika Adamski, redaktor naczelna Radio RAMPA, pyta również o pierwsze wspomnienia Ambasador związane z Polakami? O to jak wyglądało jej zderzenie z rzeczywistością, już po przylocie do Warszawy.

Pan Prezydent Andrzej Duda ma jasną wiadomość dla Pana Marszałka Tomasza Grodzkiego.Kolejno przechodzimy w rozmowie do ostatnich wizyt Pana Prezydenta w USA i jego spotkań z Polonią amerykańską w Connecticut, Wallington, Amerykańskiej Częstochowie czy tym pierwszym na Greenpoincie, gdzie spotkał się z Polonią w parku, a także odwiedził instytucje takie jak Polsko-Słowiańska Federalna Unia Kredytowa czy Instytut Piłsudskiego.Radio RAMPA pyta o powroty do Polski: w przeprowadzonej przez Radio RAMPA sondzie, Polonia na Greenpoincie szczególnie podkreślała, że w kwestii powrotu liczą się dwie kwestie - zarobki i poziom służby zdrowia w Polsce. Pytamy Pana Prezydenta o te dwie sprawy.Ustawa 447 wzbudza wiele emocji, ale przede wszystkim konkretną reakcję wśród Polaków, zarówno w USA jak i w Polsce. Protesty przeciwko ustawie w ważnych dla Amerykanów miejscach, czy dążenie do wprowadzenia do Konstytucji poprawki wyłączającej Polskę, co jest stanowiskiem m.in. Kongresu Polonii Amerykańskiej? Pan Prezydent odpowiada.Pytamy również o raport w tej sprawie, który sporządzony ma zostać przez amerykański departament stanu.Na koniec, Pan Prezydent zapowiada, kiedy w najbliższym czasie może odwiedzić Stany Zjednoczone.

Radio RAMPA visited US Ambassador to Poland Georgette Mosbacher in her residence in Warsaw. The interview took place on November 13, exactly a week after the Visa Waiver Program for Poland was announced, and two days after it started being effective.Ambassador Mosbacher talks about the backstage of the decision on including Poland into the Visa Waiver Program – our country was waiting for that moment for over two decades. How did it happen so quickly? What steps had to be made? How the date of November 11 was chosen?Ambassador Mosbacher also talks about her memories associated with Poles, about Polish-American alliance and what’s next in her agenda. She describes her cooperation with Polish government: Monika Adamski, the editor in chief of Radio RAMPA, asks Madam Ambassador if there is anything that troubles her in Poland and if there is anything in Poland, that she would want to see at home? Ambassador describes Poland as a strong NATO leader in the Eastern flank, and appreciates what Poland has achieved for the last 30 years.Ambassador is also asked how does she respond to the situation in the United States – how in her opinion President Donald Trump deals with the impeachment proceedings?At the end, Ambassador talks about her values, what keeps her in line when it comes to dealing with difficult people and situations and her most memorable “NO” moments.

Wiadomości dnia w Radio RAMPA – dzisiaj jest 24 września 2019 roku1)Polonia: Podczas poniedziałkowego spotkania Prezydentów USA i Polski w Nowym Jorku, Prezydent Donald Trump ogłosił, że Polska spełnia wymagania konieczne do włączenia jej do programu bezwizowego – Visa Waiver Program. “Trump get the things done,” Powiedział prezydent USA. Po raz pierwszy w historii, odsetek odmów wydania wiz B1/B2, czyli turystyczno-biznesowych w Polsce spadł poniżej 3%. Wymaganiem jest, aby odsetek odmów nie przekroczył 3% w danym roku podatkowym, a w przypadku USA rok ten zakończy się 30 września br. Wówczas decyzja stanie się oficjalna. Teraz czas na czynności administracyjne i proceduralne, które zająć mają kilka miesięcy. Po tym czasie, obywatele Polscy będą mogli jechać do USA bez wiz, z użyciem ważnego paszportu, w celach tylko i wyłącznie turystycznych, na okres nie dłuższy niż 90 dni.2)NYC: wielka tragedia rodzinna, do której doszło w poniedziałek nad ranem na Bronxie. 45-letni mężczyzna wskoczył pod nadjeżdżające metro, trzymając i pociągając za sobą swoją 5-letnią córkę. Maszynista zaczął zwalniać, ale nie dał radę całkowicie zatrzymać pociągu. Mężczyzna zginął na miejscu, a dziewczynka przeżyła, dzięki temu, że położyła się płasko między szynami. Świadek zdarzenia wskoczył za dziewczynką i pomógł jej się wydostać. .5-latka spotkała się z mamą w szpitalu, w poniedziałek wieczorem została wypuszczona do domu. Nie wiadomo dlaczego mężczyzna skoczył. Świadkowie zajścia, do którego doszło na platformie metra 4 przy the Kingsbridge Road, byli przerażeni sytuacją. 3)USA: w Nowym Jorku doszło do pierwszego w historii szczytu klimatycznego, będącego częścią Zgromadzenia Ogólnego Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych. Furorę zrobiła 16-letnia aktywistka ze Szwajcarii, Greta Thunbeg, która rozpoczęła protesty uczniów przeciwko zmianom klimatycznym. Wraz z 15 innymi dziećmi, Greta złożyła skargę do ONZu, w której twierdzi, że ich prawa człowieka załamane zostały przez pięć państw, które zrobiły niedostatecznie dużo aby zatrzymać zmiany klimatyczne. Państwa te to Niemcy, Francja, Brazylia, Argentyna i Turcja. Greta wygłosiła również emocjonalne przemówienie, w którym oskarżyła przywódców świata o ignorację w sprawach zmian klimatycznych. Nastolatka, aby chronić środowisko, zgodziła się przybyć do USA, zerowej emisji, 60-stopowym jachtem. / Dzisiaj oficjalnie rozpoczyna się debata Zgromadzenia Ogólnego Narodów Zjednoczonych. Otwiera ją prezydent Brazylii, po którym przemawia Prezydent Donald Trump. 4)ŚWIAT: Wielka Brytania, Niemcy, Francja poparły USA w stwierdzeniu, że to Iran odpowiedzialny jest za atak na rafinerie w Arabii Saudyjskiej. Naciskają oni na Teheran, aby zgodził się na rozmowy dotyczące programu rozwoju broni nuklearnej i spraw bezpieczeństwa w regionie. Liderzy tych trzech Europejskich państw spotkali się w kuluarach posiedzenia w ONZ. Minister Spraw Zagranicznych Iranu powiedział jednak, że nie ma możliwości na negocjację ugody, ponieważ ci właśnie partnerzy, nie dotrzymali swoich założeń zawartych w pakcie w roku 2015. 5)Polska: Podczas poniedziałkowego spotkania Prezydentów Andrzeja Dudy i Donalda Trumpa w Nowym Jorku, podpisana została deklaracja dotycząca pogłębienia współpracy obronnej. Mowa w niej m.in. o zwiększeniu ilości amerykańskich żołnierzy w Polsce, a także o lokalizacjach sił amerykańskich. Prezydent Andrzej Duda i minister obrony Mariusz Błaszczak nazywają deklarację historyczną, a prezydent Andrzej Duda dodał, że polsko-amerykańska deklaracja wojskowa to najlepsza droga, by zapobiec kolejnym konfliktom. W uzgodnionym przez prezydentów obu państw w Nowym Jorku dokumencie zapisano zwiększenie liczby amerykańskiego personelu wojskowego w Polsce o 1000 osób. Polska będzie musiała zapewnić im odpowiednią infrastrukturę. (IAR)W Konsulacie Generalnym RP w Nowym Jorku odbyło się w wydarzenie, upamiętniające 80-rocznicę wybuchu II Wojny Światowej. Goście, w większości Amerykanie, obejrzeli fragment dokumentu „Korespondent Bryan,” ukazującego archiwalne zdjęcia, jedynego amerykańskiego dziennikarza, który przebywał w Warszawie podczas wybuchu II Wojny Światowej. Julien Bryan przyjechał do Warszawy ostatnim pociągiem i pozostał w niej aby dokumentować niszczycielskie działania Niemców. Jego zdjęcia i materiały filmowe, wykorzystane były przez wiele amerykańskich gazet, telewizji i producentów filmowych. Jak mówił Konsul Generalny RP w Nowym Jorku, Maciej Golubiewski, świadectwo Bryana jest szczególnie ważne, ponieważ należy do obcokrajowca, który patrzył na dramat rozgrywający się w Polsce. W wydarzeniu udział wzięła między innymi Rita Cosby, amerykańska dziennikarka polskiego pochodzenia, której ojciec Ryszard, walczył w Powstaniu Warszawskim. Projekcja filmu, połączona była z multimedialną prezentacją wystawy „Walka i cierpienie. Obywatele polscy podczas II wojny światowej.”

In this eighth episode, we're thinking about visits—receiving family, friends, and others as guests. In terms of legal procedures, visiting the U.S. requires paperwork, fees, and interviews to apply for visitor visas. Depending on national laws and an applicant's travel documentation and history, we learned in our research for this episode that the structure and length of these processes vary greatly. We also learned about laws that regulate visits to the U.S. These date back centuries to the Naturalization Law of 1802 that first established the requirement for all entry into the U.S. to be recorded by the federal government. In 2004, the U.S. government instituted the Visa Waiver Program, which deems citizens of certain countries eligible to travel to the U.S. without a visa. As of 2019, laws around entry into the country undergo ongoing shifts. In this episode, we'll hear stories about hosting visitors after migrating to Queens and of relationships formed and changed through these travels. While we listen, we can think about how we stay connected with each other as we move from place to place. Learn more about Queens Memory at http://queensmemory.org.

In the past few years, the world has seen the dramatic movement of Islamist terrorists to war zones around the world. While this is not a new phenomenon, the elevated level of terrorist travel to places like Syria and Iraq from many nations in Europe and North America was deeply concerning to many policymakers across the globe. Now as ISIS loses its last stronghold in Syria, similar concerns over returning terrorist fighters must be addressed. The U.S. led the way following 9/11 in its efforts to combat terrorist travel through intelligence sharing programs like the Visa Waiver Program and a revamped vetting system. Other countries are also following suit, with the EU recently implementing passenger name record vetting, but more remains to be done to ensure that terrorists are unable to travel to carry out their violent endeavors.Please join us for an address and conversation with Ambassador Nathan Sales on the status of the fight against terrorist travel and what needs be done going forward.

Today we talk to former Congressman Richard Pombo, who is a partner at Gavel Resources, a consulting and lobbying firm in Washington, D.C. He tells the story of going from a farming family in the Central Valley in California to City Council of Tracey and from there running for Congress. He was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1992 and represented California’s 11th district until January of 2007. While in Congress he became the Co-Founder of the Portuguese-American Caucus and helped implement the Visa Waiver Program and the Tax Treaty. He also talks about the importance of running for elected positions at the local level and how these are the positions that have the most direct impact on people’s daily lives. He encourages people to engage in local campaigns and learn the election process. And he also tells us a little about his current work at Gavel Resources. http://www.gavelresources.com/

Happy Friday: You have to be living under a sound-proof rock to have missed the fact that former FBI Director Comey testified before Congress yesterday, June 7th- I will share some of my thoughts about this most unusual hearing. I have been invited to blog for Newsmax and on June 2nd they posted my first piece:   Manchester Terrorist Could Have Visited US Under Visa Waiver Program. Having raised the issue of the Visa Waiver Program, on June 7th FrontPage Magazine published my article: FAKE SECURITY IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN NO SECURITY- How the “Improved Visa Waiver Program” creates the perilous illusionof security.  The Visa Waiver Program should  have been terminated after the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 yet the number of countries that participate in this dangerous program have increased from 26 countries on that terrible day  more than 15 year ago to the 38 countries that now participate. Supposed “improvements” to the Visa Waiver Program, as you will see, are little more than blue smoke and mirrors. Please read my articles and be a part of my “Bucket Brigade of Truth” and forward their links to as many folks as you can and tell your friends and neighbors about my program- and mywebsite, remember Democracy is not a “Spectator Sport!”

Under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), holders of passports from the following countries can travel to the U.S. for tourism or business visits of 90 days or less without a visa.  Currently, 36 countries participate in the Visa Waiver Program, as shown below:Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom. All passport holders from these nations, however, must have machine readable passports and/or electronic passports to gain entry into the U.S.  If a national from one of these countries does not meet the VWP passport requirement or other VWP requirements, they will have to seek a visa to visit the U.S.  Applicants from Visa Waiver Program participant countries are advised that if their visa application is denied, they may no longer be eligible to participate in the Visa Waiver Program, which could complicate any plans to transit or return to the U.S.Note: Travel under the visa waiver program must be made by commercial airline or steamship line using a return or ongoing ticket.  Persons arriving by private yacht cannot use the waiver program and must obtain a visa.  Persons who have been denied U.S. visas or who have been deported or denied entry into the U.S. or who have been arrested or convicted of any offense in any country cannot use the waiver and must apply for a visa.https://kingston.usembassy.gov/visa_waiver_program.html  Usa Consulate in Jamaica collecting Millions of dollars for Visas  Knowing that they cannot deliver under the quota  Where does that money go
