Trump Administration Expands Immigration Crackdown on Legal Entrants
The U.S. administration is hardening immigration policies targeting legal entrants, temporarily halting immigrant visa applications and planning to revoke the visas of hundreds of thousands of foreigners.
The U.S. administration is preparing to implement a comprehensive immigration crackdown policy targeting not only those entering illegally from Mexico and other countries, but also individuals who entered the country legally.
New Measures for Legal Immigrants
The United States government is expanding the pressure in its immigration policy beyond illegal entries to also encompass individuals who entered the country through legal channels.
Temporary Visa Suspension Decision
The Department of State has temporarily suspended all immigrant visa applications in order to inform consular officers worldwide about the new policies.
Public Charge Rule and Restrictions
The new rules aim to prevent the entry of individuals deemed likely to become a burden on public funds and to make it harder for immigrants utilizing public assistance such as food aid, Medicaid, and housing assistance to obtain green cards.
Plan to Revoke Hundreds of Thousands of Visas
The administration is preparing to cancel the business and tourist visas of approximately 200,000 foreigners who have applied for asylum, and this step is expected to be the largest mass visa cancellation in U.S. history.
