This country will never be safe until our "so-called leaders" understand that US citizens are the primary concern. Not the convenience of foreigners. There would be no need to hire any additional personnel. Who cares if it takes a foreigner a year longer to gain access to this country? If those countries do not want to comply, then let their citizens stay at home. There can be NO COMPROMISE!!

The State Department has known about this requirement since the drafting of the law, and typically has done nothing proactively to address it. Automated processing does not appear to be an option with the old-line management whose only solution to the problem is to "hire more people". This is a typical response from the agency that still clings to the "cable" as the most modern of communications options between Washington and overseas. The State Department should get out of the 19th Century and into the 21st.

Some people occupying some very high positions in government still don't get it. The "primary" concern and first priority should be homeland security, not ease and convenience. We have been down the other road and it was literally a "dead end" Time to step up to the task at hand and do it right. Security first! No compromise! Hire the needed resources! The citizens of this country expect and deserve nothing less.
