Many of these Marxist Federal Judges have definitely overstayed their welcome.

Stop handing visas out.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Visa applicants should provide proof of $50K liquid assets. They should show proof of medical insurance acceptable in the USA. They should be forced to wear an ankle monitor. They should be forced to check-in with ICE every day.

[KC_Conspirator]

This data seems out of whack.

[Libloather]

What happens if you overstay a visa in other countries? No big deal?

[Georgia Girl 2]

I’ve read this statistic before. About 40% of the illegals fly here on the airlines and then just disappear into the country when their visas expire.

[Organic Panic]

Yeah? So? Deport all the figgers

[Libloather]

Here ya go. This is how the chicoms deal with it -

2. If one overstays the visa for a significant period, usually over one month, he might be put into a detention camp for 5 to 15 days and repatriated to his home country. It’s possible he will be blacklisted, which will affect his re-entry to China, and he may be prohibited from entering the country for ten years. In addition to this, it might also influence one’s visa application for other countries.

“ While an estimated 860,000 new undocumented arrivals were created due to illegal border crossings that year, more than 510,000 people overstayed their visas.”

That makes 1.3 million illegals, but other sources say about 2.5-3 million illegals came in 2023.

Who to believe?

BS

[A_Former_Democrat]

So overstay vises has called into, questioned the effectiveness of blocking illegal border crossing?

Yeah, that makes a whole Lotta F sense

[Bernard]

In the year 2000, 400,000 illegal aliens had come across the border and only 225,000 had overstayed their visa

That's 36%. so going to 40% is almost rounding. I thought "journalists" only had problems with numbers that involve dollar signs.

The US actually have a different system of visa for international students. They have visa to enter/exit but also a document that shows they are students. The visa is only good for entering the US usually only last for a month or so but in the passport there’s a small for that says D/S - duration of stay/ study.

So I am wondering if this is considered overstay?

[antidemoncrat]

I wonder how many of them are enrolled in universities at our expense?

[Ex-Con777]

So 64% crossed illegally, meaning 2 out of 3. We can play the game too.

Chip implants. We have the technology to insert and remove as necessary to manage visa-holders. It just needs to be a condition of obtaining the visa.

[BobL]

“This fact has in the past called into question the effectiveness of sealing off borders to curb illegal immigration.”

Such BS - the thing about visa overstays is that they were at least VETTED...far different than people who sneak across the border.

And, by the way, if we have that degree of visa overstays, perhaps tightening the system might help - something like making every person from a high-risk country have to buy a bond that assures their departure (similar to bail), if they don’t depart by the required date, the government gets the bond money - and bounty hunters can track down those people.

Any packet of lies to protect the ~20M illegal VOTES.
