Scrapping DHS’s travel vetting regime is the wrong approach

On his first day in office, President Biden revoked the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s travel vetting infrastructure, undoing four years of arduous, and successful, work to protect the public. In his proclamation, he claimed that national security will be enhanced. Unfortunately, the facts don’t support that statement.

One of the primary responsibilities of DHS is to keep us safe by ensuring that those who wish to enter our country are properly screened and vetted. It is undisputed after all that there are evil people out there who seek to travel to the United States with ill intent.
