Trump’s Deputies Promise ‘Continuous Vetting’ of 55 Million U.S. Visa Holders Worldwide
Breitbart ^ | August 22, 2025 | Neil Munro

Posted on 08/22/2025 8:15:43 AM PDT by Red Badger

President Donald Trump’s deputies are using federal databases for “continuous vetting” of roughly 55 million foreigners who have visas to visit or live in the United States.

“We review all available information as part of our vetting, including law enforcement or immigration records or any other information that comes to light after visa issuance, indicating a potential ineligibility under the INA [ Immigration and Nationality Act],” said a statement from the Department of State.

The statement did not say how many visa holders might be vetted each year. But it does suggest that Trump’s integration of federal tax, healthcare, criminal, and migration databases may be used to accelerate the identification of visa holders who have committed crimes.

Officials are also warning foreigners that federal officials will monitor their social media sites before allowing them into the United States.

The agency statement said:

“The State Department revokes visas any time there are indications of a potential ineligibility, which includes things like any indicators of overstays, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity, or providing support to a terrorist organization.

The number of visas is huge because many presidents since 1990 have tried to maximize migration, tourism, and trade visitors to Americans’ home nation. The U.S. population is roughly 300 million, plus at least 45 million legal or illegal migrants.

I wonder how many of the 55 million visa holders live here, vs how many of them are frequent travelers to the U.S. but live elsewhere? (i.e. business, political)

On the flip side, how many are here without a visa? (here illegally)

Are not VISAs for a specified period of time?

If so, and they are not renewed of relinquished, the holders should go on a deportation list, complete with all tracking info.

Find them and work out an arrangement, if appropriate, or send them packing.

Every country wants foreign tourists. They bring their Euros or dinars, or whatever and spend it in this country.
Many jobs depend on them!
But all of them should leave after their visit.
So called visa overstayers are big part of our immigration problems!
And, obviously, foreigner terrorists are no-no all the time.

YES, 90 days is the legal limit on ANY visit for any foreigner tourist.
If you want to stay longer, you need visa extension or some special visa for special situations, and provide some justification.
Unfortunately, there are millions of “tourists” here who are here for years and do not want to leave.

BTW, this 90 days limit is an international standard used by most countries, even US abroad.
If you want to spend long vacations on French Riviera, or Cancun, you have to leave after 90 days or apply for some special long term visa there!
