The tragic San Bernardino terrorist attack has reminded us that our visa system isnt immune to abuse by those who wish to harm our nation. We must scrutinize all aspects of our immigration system  including our visa waiver system  to ensure the safety and security of all Americans and to thwart attempts by Islamic extremists to gain entry into our nation.  \r\n\r\nCongressman Steve Womack has represented Arkansass Third Congressional District since 2011 and serves on the House Appropriations Defense, Financial Services and General Government, and Labor-Health and Human Services subcommittees and the House Committee on the Budget.\r\n\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://womack.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398636"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3279840350151062, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
