Trump Admin Strengthens Vetting of Foreign Nationa
Post# of 51179
Foreign nationals attempting to enter the United States through various visa programs will now have to prove they have the means return to their native countries as federal law mandates.
As part of President Donald Trump’s Buy American, Hire American Executive Order, the vetting procedures conducted by the State Department of foreign nationals trying to come to the U.S. have been strengthened to weed out not only radicalized individuals, but also foreigners with no documented intentions on departing.
The National Law Review outlined the changes by the Trump Administration, writing that “the revisions appear to instruct officers to apply a more rigorous – and, arguably, protectionist – approach to determining whether an applicant meets the requirements of the visa category in question.”
Under the new guidelines by the State Department, officials will now refuse student visas to foreign nationals who show no evidence or plan of returning to their native countries.
