we spend hundreds of billions of dollars defending our country, and yet we cannot truly defend our country unless we defend our border. My bill would place pause on issuing visas to countries that are at high risk for exporting terrorists to us. My bill would also say to visa waiver countries that in order to come and visit, you would have to go through global entry, which would require a background check. I urge Senators who truly do want to defend our country and have increased border security to vote for this amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont.
