	Joel Mowbray on Visa Express on National Review Online
		Though the cancellation of Visa Express certainly shores up our border security, it should not detract from congressional efforts this week, led by Reps. Dave Weldon (R, Fla.) and Dan Burton (R, Ind.), to strip visa authority from State and hand it over to the new Department of Homeland Security.
		ver the weekend, Visa Express finally closed shop when its maker, the U.S. State Department, officially declared that Saudis could no longer submit their visa applications to travel agents and that all applicants, save for diplomats and children, will be interviewed.
		But the discussion about the quantity and quality of interviews does not speak to the need for Homeland Security to take over visa issuance as much as State's reckless handling of Visa Express, a program that let in three of the Sept. 11 terrorists in the three months it was in operation before 9/11.
