Conservative media want Poland in Visa Waiver Program

Conservative media in the US, Daily Caller, want Poland to be in a Visa Waiver Program. That is how they want to reward Poland for its friendship with the US. They are also impressed with economic progress in the last 25 years.
National wealth, a high Human Development Index, and a low security risk are three important ingredients for gaining VWP status, and Poland scores well on each count. Since shedding communism 25 years ago, Poland has seen its economy dramatically grow to 22nd in the world at $814 billion. The 2013 United Nations Development Report classified Poland as a “very high” HDI country with its 76 years average life expectancy, 99 percent literacy rate for males and females, and $21,000 plus average annual income.
What are the chances for that? Time will show.
