The Trump administration is preparing to revoke the business and tourism visas of up to 200,000 foreigners who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum status in the United States. If it happens, the move would be the largest single mass revocation of visas in U.S. history. There will be endless lawsuits.
Unless challenged or revised, the State Department will soon announce the revocation of so-called B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026 to holders who have sought asylum or are now seeking it, according to State Department documents obtained by The Associated Press and two U.S. officials. The action will be taken in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security.
The Trump administration has proposed a fee of more than $100,000 for H-1B visa applications for skilled foreign workers, a policy the president introduced last year but that a federal judge blocked.
In June, a federal judge blocked Trump’s bid to impose the six-figure fee, concluding that it was an unlawful “tax” that required congressional approval.
But the Department of Homeland Security revived the proposal on Monday, submitting it online to the Federal Register for official publication on Tuesday, when a 30-day public comment period will commence. And the administration is now proposing $103,265 for all new H-1B visa petitions.
H1-B should be canceled altogether. It’s a scam.
Time is running out. We need a lot more deportations and cancellations.
Hopefully, the pastor has the correct information:
Something big is about to happen with deportations in America. You should be ready for this…
I just spoke with a senior DHS official. They shared deportation numbers with me that frankly stunned me.
+27,000 deportations. Last week.
+3,600 a day average.
Tracking for 1.4… pic.twitter.com/s2a1cusA7l
