Dumbass Congressional Act: Charge visitors $10 to explain US travel restrictions on visitors ...

[panzerfaust]

A bill that will create a tourism promotion organization for the United States has received its final passage in the Senate.

The Travel Promotion Act calls for a nonprofit Corporation for Travel Promotion that will promote the United States as a travel destination and explain travel and security policies to international visitors.

"This is a historic victory for the U.S. economy and one in eight American workers whose jobs depend on travel," Roger Dow, president and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association, said in a statement...

A $10 fee charged to visitors from countries included in the Visa Waiver Program will partially fund the public-private organization. These visitors will pay the fee every two years when they register online using the Department of Homeland Security's Electronic System for Travel Authorization...

Yep. That should sure promote travel to the USA!

Nothing tourists want more than to get charged to be told about the US's travel and security restrictions on them ... like where can I sign up for this great deal.

Complete idiots our congress-critters seem to be.

2....If you shoplifted something no matter the value..

3.....Been arrested at a free speech protest

4......And any other criminal conviction.....They will deny you entry that is if they don't make you fill out a ton of affidavits.
