Achilles Heel of America - Olivia Lambert 3rd Period

Sen. Dianne Feinstein has created a program called the "Achilles Heel of America" and it is designed to allow citizens from other countries to enter the United States without a Visa for up to 90 days. She came up with this plan because she noticed that lots of citizens of other countries were entering the country and she wanted to make it simpler. Most of the citizens were from France and Feinstein wanted to keep any terrorists away from her plan as possible. This program is a way to increase terror attacks and such, but with more interaction with other countries, the United States and Other countries, especially France, can be on good terms.

I think this program is a great idea because it opens up doors to other citizens and they get to experience the U.S. yet it can be dangerous. I think Feinstein needs to look more at the effects of this program before actually acting upon it because many terror attacks and horrible things can come out of this program. 90 days is a reasonable number but she shouldn't increase the days anymore. In the past, many programs have been done to bring together the country and other countries as well and most of them have been well throughout and this one needs to be also.
