      In the #omnibus, the bipartisan #VisaWaiverProgram Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevent Act, which I voted for, became law.

      In select cases, restrictions could potentially run contrary to #nationalsecurity excluding #UN personnel #IAEA inspectors or relief workers

      The Secretary of #DHS may grant a waiver to a foreign national if it is in the law enforcement or national security interests of the U.S.

      The agency has underscored that such waivers will be granted only on a case-by-case basis.

      We must conduct meaningful oversight of the implementation of this #nationalsecurity waiver authority.

      However, our shared interest in #nationalsecurity does not exclude goals of humanitarian assistance, accountability, and economic stability

      It de-incentivizes desperate populations from making desperate choices. This humanitarian aid keeps refugees near their home country.

          Conflict reporting by journalists is critical to informing US officials & the public about security and humanitarian facts on the ground.

          I voted for tighter restrictions in #VisaWaiverProgram, but I do believe in affording Secretary flexibility that he was granted by statute.
