“Poland remains one of America’s most trusted allies – all the way back to the American Revolution, Polish soldiers have fought for freedom alongside Americans. Poland is a valued diplomatic partner and they already allow U.S. citizens entry into their country without a visa. Plus, Polish Americans deserve to have barriers removed to allow their friends and families easier trips into the United States. Even Illinois’ travel and tourism industries would see a positive impact from more Polish visitors,” emphasized the state treasurer.
“I applaud U.S. Senator Mark Kirk for reintroducing the Visa Waiver Program Enhanced Security and Reform Act and I publicly support the bipartisan federal efforts,” Rutherford added.
