Noem admits Argentina back into visa waiver program

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem admitted Argentina back into the Department of Homeland Security’s visa waiver program, which lets foreign citizens travel in the United States for up to 90 days without a visa, on Monday.

The U.S. removed Argentina from its visa waiver program in 2002 when Argentinians began entering the nation illegally after fleeing their native country, which faced an economic crisis at the time. The change was made because Argentina has the lowest visa overstay rate in the U.S. among Latin American countries, according to the DHS chief.
