Bush keeps Poland off visa-waiver list

As an American of Polish ancestry, I am disappointed in this administration's decision. When my family would like to visit me in the United States, I am required to send a letter of invitation; they are then required to wait in line for hours, fill-out a myriad of forms, pay $100 (which is quite a bit of money in Poland)... and most people are usually turned away. By the way- they don't get their money back. For a country that owes its existance to prominent Polish figures like Kosciuszko and Pulaski, the U.S. should be a little more flexible. Our Senators need to recognize that approximately 10% of the American population is of Polish ancestry (nearly 40 million people), and discontinue this wall and roadblock that I'd equate to the "American Berlin-Wall for the Polish" that separates so many families. The Polish culture is very family-centric; this is such a great issue for us Poles as it makes normal family visits between Poland and the U.S. nearly impossbile. Thank you Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and George W. Bush. Bush is out- let's make sure that the other two never move up in politics again. Vote them out.
