The State Department's new language suggests that the re-vetting process, which officials acknowledge is time-consuming, is far more widespread.
>>1428350> The administration has steadily imposed more and more restrictions and requirements on visa applicants, including requiring all visa seekers to submit to in-person interviews.> But the review of all visa holders appears to be a significant expansion of what had initially been a re-vetting process focused mainly on students who have been involved in pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel activity.> Officials say the reviews will include all the visa holders’ social media accounts, law enforcement and immigration records in their home countries, along with any actionable violations of U.S. law committed while they were in the United States.> “As part of the Trump Administration’s commitment to protect U.S. national security and public safety, since Inauguration Day the State Department has revoked more than twice as many visas, including nearly four times as many student visas, as during the same time period last year,” the department said.> Earlier this week, the department said that since Trump returned to the White House, it has revoked more than 6,000 student visas for overstays and violations of local, state and federal law, the vast majority of which were assault, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and support for terrorism.> It said that about 4,000 of those 6,000 were due to actual infractions of laws and that approximately 200–300 visas were revoked for terrorism-related issues, including providing support for designated terrorist organizations or state sponsors of terrorism.Fin
>>1428350This is going to drop his approval rating into the 20s.
>>1428350why not deport domestic terrorists? plenty of those on the street
>promises to deport criminals and gangsters>all they get are workers and tourists
>>1428350Wow what a shock.Who could have seen this coming.If only someone had warned us of this eventuality.>>1428531So what? They're not having real elections anymore. They'll just gerrymander and rig their way into winning no matter how unpopular they are.
>>1428350Literally every country in the world will terminate your visa if you misbehave. This is normal behavior and noteworthy only because immigration was failing to do this.
>>1428576>Literally every country in the world will terminate your visa if you misbehave.This is true. However, not every country is reviewing every single visa and including "critiquing another country we're not even officially allied with" as a terminatable offense
>>1428544>No see, we're only deporting people who broke immigration law>No see, we're only deporting people who came here because of Biden's immigration app>No see, we're only deporting people who physically lost their green cards>No see, we're only deporting people who've ever spoken badly about this administration and/or Israel
>>1428350> The department said it was looking for indicators of ineligibility, including visa overstays, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity, or providing support to a terrorist organization.Good. This is something they should be doing already. What is the problem?
