Description

The Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) manages the Visa Waiver Program, which allows nationals from 36 countries to apply for admission to the U.S. as temporary visitors for business or pleasure without a visa. DHS is also responsible for investigating overstays -- unauthorized immigrants who entered the country legally on a temporary basis but then overstayed their authorized periods of admission. The Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 required DHS, in consultation with the Dept. of State, to take steps to enhance the security of the program. This testimony addresses: (1) challenges in the Visa Waiver Program, and (2) overstay enforcement efforts. This is a print on demand report.
