The United States will examine 55 million visa holders for potential violations

The United States examines files of more than 55 million American visa holders to assess whether it has broken conditions for entry or stay in the country.

People with American visas will be under a “continuous verification,” said a spokesperson for the State Department to the Associated Press news agency.

Visas will be dismissed if there are indications to “overvalue, criminal activities, threats to public security, engage in any form of terrorist activity or provide support for a terrorist organization,” said an official.

President Donald Trump has made anti-immigration the cornerstone of his second administration, mass deportations and full travel bans on countries to revoke 6,000 student visas.

As part of the large-scale examination, potential students and visitors to the United States will be subject to social media verification with officials in search of “any indication of hostility towards citizens, culture, government, institutions or founding principles of the United States”.

Agents of the State Department have also been invited to identify individuals “who argue, help or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to national security; or who perpetuate harassment or illegal anti -Semitic violence”.

Matthew Trageser, spokesperson for American citizenship and immigration services, said in a statement: “America’s advantages should not be granted to those who despise the country and promoted anti-American ideologies.”

He added that the immigration service was determined to “implement policies” which “cancel anti-Americanism”.

The last announcement reached after the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said that the United States would “immediately” take a break from workers’ visas for truck drivers.

“The growing number of foreign drivers operating large semi-trailer trucks on American roads endangers American lives and undercoke the livelihoods of American truckers,” Rubio wrote in an article on X Thursday.

Since Trump came to power in January, several foreign students were arrested on American university campuses for participating in demonstrations against the conduct of the war in the Gaza Strip by Israel – which was supported by the United States.

A few weeks ago, the United States announced that citizens of Malawi and Zambia would be required to pay a deposit of $ 15,000 (£ 11,300) for a tourist or commercial visa.

Trump has also prohibited foreign nationals from 12 countries from going to the United States and has imposed partial restrictions on seven others.

In May, the Trump administration was authorized to temporarily revoke the legal status of more than 500,000 migrants living in the United States. He even swore to end the negotiation of good birth.
