S. 653: 

Secure Travel and Counterterrorism Partnership Act

Published:  Mon, Jan 27th 2014 @ 12:20 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. George Voinovich [R-OH, 1999-2010] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

S. 653, Secure Travel and Counterterrorism Partnership Act, would grant DHS the authority to waive the Visa Waiver Program's (VWP) low nonimmigrant visa refusal rate requirements with respect to a country's participation in the VWP (i.e., have a low nonimmigrant visa refusal rate for two years) if the country has acceptable travel security measures and assists the U.S. in the War on Terror. It would require DHS to develop a system that collects basic biographical information and flight information of aliens traveling to the U.S.

Published:  Mon, Jan 27th 2014 @ 2:49 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. John Cornyn [R-TX] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

S. 422, Secure Border Crossing Card Entry Act of 2007, would have established parity between Mexican nationals visiting the United States who possessed a valid biometric Border Crossing Card (BCC, also known as a laser visa) and have completed the necessary security checks, and Canadian visitors by allowing BCC bearers to remain in the United States for six months (Mexican nationals with BCCs may only stay in the United States for 30 days, while Canadians possessing tourist visas may stay up to one year).

Sponsored by:  Rep. Henry Cuellar [D-TX28] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:

S. 342: 

Secure Travel and Counterterrorism Partnership Act

Published:  Mon, Jan 27th 2014 @ 3:24 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Sen. George Voinovich [R-OH, 1999-2010] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

S. 342, Secure Travel and Counterterrorism Partnership Act, would have required DHS to establish a pilot program to expand the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) (which now allows citizens of 27 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa, and has provided easy entry for terrorists and created a black market for stolen or forged passports). It would have added five more countries to the program, and would have allowed such a country's participation in the VWP for three years, with one two-year extension possible.

H.R. 561: 

Secure Travel and Counterterrorism Partnership Act

Published:  Mon, Jan 27th 2014 @ 3:22 pm EST

Sponsored by:  Rep. Philip “Phil” English [R-PA3, 2003-2009] in the 110th congress

NumbersUSA's Position:  

Oppose

The bill would require DHS to establish a pilot program to expand the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) (which now allows citizens of 27 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa, and, because there is little scrutiny of VWP “travelers,” has provided easy entry for terrorists and created a black market for stolen or forged passports from such countries) to include up to five new countries that are cooperating with the United States on security and counterterrorism matters, provided those nations first come to counterterrorism and security information sharing agreemen

NumbersUSA Education & Research Foundation provides a civil forum for Americans of all political and ethnic backgrounds to focus on a single issue, the numerical level of U.S. immigration. We educate opinion leaders, policymakers and the public on immigration legislation, policies and their consequences. We favor reductions in immigration numbers toward traditional levels that would allow present and future generations of Americans to enjoy a stabilizing U.S. population and a high degree of individual liberty, mobility, environmental quality, worker fairness and fiscal responsibility.

Those who need to refer to NumbersUSA with a short, descriptive modifier should call it an “immigration-reduction organization.”
