Well, I hope most of his constituents want him not act as if the US is
in a world of its own.

To be more specific, maybe every poster on rta isn't entitled to have
his beliefs stated and considered by the US government but I believe
governments should have a voice in how their citizens are treated at
immigration in other countries. Freedom travel is essential to getting
business done and I personally think it's right up there with other
major human freedoms. In that sense your congressman should indeed
consider the concerns of the gov't of France and a bunch of other
countries.
