WASHINGTON — President Obama’s Oval Office speech on containing terrorism was panned by Republicans, but they’re ready to join him in a bipartisan effort to clamp down on visa-free travel.
On Tuesday, the GOP-led House is expected to pass a bill that would make it harder to travel to the United States without a visa from some countries, a program used by some 20 million international travelers each year.
The visa-waiver program allows passport-holders from 38 countries to visit the US for up to 90 days without getting a visa.
The reforms would tighten security screenings to block potential terrorists.
