The Trump administration has announced that they will be reviewing all the 55 million people who are living with a United States visa for possible violations they might have committed that will make them eligible for deportation.
The latest move is part of Trump’s efforts to not only crack down on and remove illegal immigrants living in the United States, but to further reduce the population of erring foreigners living in the country and those with access to the country.
The information was made public following a request from AP News, where it was informed that the US will continue to monitor every one of its visa holders, including tourists, for any sign that they could be ineligible to stay in the country.
It continues that if a visa holder has violated any cause that renders them ineligible, their visa will be revoked, and if they are already in the country, they will be deported.
The department further gave crimes and conditions that can result in visa revocations to include “visa overstays, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity, or providing support to a terrorist organization.”
Eligibility for visa revocation and deportation might also include support for “anti-American views”, which will be sought from social media and checking their accounts.
This might follow from the latest vetting process for visa applications from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that involves requesting for and checking the social media profiles of applicants for the last 5 years, of which failure to fully disclose all could lead to a blacklisting.
After all, “America’s benefits should not be given to those who despise the country and promote anti-American ideologies,” Matthew Tragesser, a USCIS representative, argues.
