The US immigration agency USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services) recently issued a note to highlight key developments of President Donald Trump's 100 days in office. The note also shares social media profiles that the agency screened of people holding US Visa to check any anti-America activity. "In the first 100 days of the Trump Administration, USCIS has restored robust screening and vetting capabilities; re-emphasized fraud detection and deterrence; reduced exploitation of the immigration system through humanitarian and temporary protected status programs; in partnership with other agencies, helped reduce encounters at our southern border and increase safety at home, with violent criminal aliens rapidly being removed from our neighborhoods; and introduced commonsense policy and operational solutions to help protect Americans," it said in the statement.
The Trump administration has revoked visas of approximately 4,000 international students during the first 100 days in office. The numbers are the highest-ever in US history and demonstrate USCIS' zero-tolerance policy.
The releases said that USCIS adopted social media vetting for anti-Americanism to consider social media content that indicates an alien endorsing, espousing, promoting, or supporting antisemitic terrorism, antisemitic terrorist organizations, or other antisemitic or anti-American activity as a negative factor in any USCIS discretionary analysis when adjudicating immigration benefit requests.
US to visa applicants: There are only male and female, no 'third sex'
USCIS returned to its historical policy of recognizing only two sexes, male and female, that are binary, biological, and not changeable. USCIS is working to protect the integrity of women’s sports by ensuring that aliens traveling to the United States to compete do so only in sporting events for their biological sex.
Visiting America is not an entitlement but a "privilege"
USCIS' stand resonates with the view of the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. In an opinion piece for Fox News published last month, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that visiting America is not an entitlement but a "privilege" extended to those who respect its laws and values. "US visas are a privilege, rather than a right, reserved for those who make the United States better, not seek to destroy it from the inside," Rubio wrote.
“Aliens who endorse or espouse terrorist activity or persuade others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization – such as Hamas – are ineligible for US visas,” Rubio stated. Rubio said visa holders “should know in no uncertain terms that the US government's rigorous security vetting does not end once a visa is granted.”
“In the first 100 days, USCIS put a stop to disastrous Biden-era ‘humanitarian’ policies that invited fraud and allowed criminal aliens to legally live and work in our communities; facilitated arrests of criminals attempting to gain immigration benefits; and for the first time in decades is ensuring every alien in the U.S. is registered as required by law,” said USCIS Spokesman Matthew Tragesser. “Aliens, immigration attorneys and non-government organizations take note: the days of exploiting our immigration system are over. Aliens who want to live and work in America need to do it legally or get out.”
