１．米国には不法滞在の韓国人（１８万２８２１人）が多数おり、ビザを免除にしたら不法滞在韓国人の増加数は計り知れない。 For example, in the case of South Korea, U.S. Ambas-sador Christopher R. Hill and other American government representatives have said that the ROK cannot join the VWP until the number of illegal South Korean residents in the United States significantly declines.[33]
２．韓国では年間７万程度の韓国のパスポート（本物）がヤミ取引されており、 これを悪用する危険人物（犯罪者やテロリスト）を簡単に入国させたく無い。 Finally, ROK officials estimate that some 70,000 South Korean passports are lost or stolen each year and then traded on the black market, a factor that has impeded Seoul’s partici-pation in the VWP.[35]
