Tom Tiffany's GREAT Move

You may--or may not--find this in a SE Wisconsin "news" report.

 

Republican Wisconsin Rep. Tom Tiffany asked Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) Kristi Noem to end a loophole that allows Chinese nationals to visit the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a US territory, without a visa, in a letter exclusively shared with the Daily Caller.

Specifically, Tiffany requested that Noem take steps to end the January 2024 rule called the “Guam-Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Visa Waiver Program Automation and Electronic Travel Authorization; Creation of CNMI Economic Vitality & Security Travel Authorization Program (EVS-TAP).”

The Biden-era rule continues an Obama program which allowed “‘categorical’ parole” to Chinese nationals to travel to CNMI, according to Tiffany.

As a result of the program, he wrote, Chinese citizens “were able to sidestep the legal requirement that they first obtain a tourist visa before entering the CNMI.”

The loophole, Tiffany continued, has led to a “troubling rise in ‘birth tourism.
'”...

Tiffany's action is Not Approved by Lefty Wankers.  If coverage emerges, look for the usual condescension and name-calling.
