Closing the Tourist Visa Loophole
Lying to the government should not be any immigrant's method of entry into the United States, which is why the Trump administration’s proposed plan to revoke the tourist and business visas of approximately 200,000 asylum applicants is important and the right thing to do.
TL;DR
- The Trump administration plans to revoke visas of approximately 200,000 asylum applicants.
- The affected visas are B-1 (business) and B-2 (tourism) visas.
- These visas require applicants to prove they have a residence abroad and intend to return home.
- The State Department is working with DHS to identify and revoke visas for those who misuse them to stay permanently.
