Did you know that 43 percent of overseas travelers who have visited our country say they will recommend avoiding a trip to the U.S. because of hassles involving the entry process? Millions of travelers are choosing not to come to the U.S. because our current entry process is often slow and at times confusing, creating an unwelcoming environment for guests visiting the U.S. and negatively impacting our economy.
