Visa revoked
Powerline ^ | August 11, 2026 | Bill Glahn

Trump administration revokes more than 175,000 visas.

Well, not all at once, but revoked in the year-and-a-half since Trump returned to office. The pace is running about 10,000 revocations per month.

Every day, I hear or read from some leftist that each and every one of the 8 billion people outside of America have an absolute and unchallengeable right to come here at any time, for any reason, and stay for any duration under the diplomatic theory, “no one is illegal.” No other nation has adopted that rule, to do so would be suicidal.

***

A quote from the State Department,

Under President Trump and Secretary Rubio’s leadership, the State Department will continue to identify, investigate, and revoke the visas of foreign nationals who threaten the safety of the American people.

The State Department provides an example of the policy at work,

Other high-profile visa revocations include 42-year-old Tou Lue Vang, a father of six who was deported to Laos last month by the Department of Homeland Security. Vang was pardoned by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz a few weeks earlier over a 2005 conviction of sexually abusing a child. The State Department said Vang was deported on “foreign policy grounds.”

You will recall the case. Mr. Vang repeated raped a ten-year-old child. Not just once, but on four to five separate days. Gov. Tim Walz and state attorney general Keith Ellison determined that someone of Mr. Vang’s character must remain on U.S. soil at all costs. Sec. Rubio came to a different conclusion as to Mr. Vang’s desirability as a permanent guest of the United States.

If no one is illegal, then we no longer have a nation.

“”””Gov. Tim Walz and state attorney general Keith Ellison determined that someone of Mr. Vang’s character must remain on U.S. soil at all costs””””

Absolutely disgusting behavior. This is why the Democrat party is being taken over by the DSA. There is no honor and the voters see it. The leadership of the Democrat party prey on the voters for money and power.

The same can be said of the GOPe as well. Thune needs to look at what his duty to the citizen is. Pass the SAVE act Thune it is your duty to protect the voters of the USA. It is the very reason the voter base has abandoned the GOP and gone MAGA. You Thune have no honor and are not doing your duty as a Senator to protect the citizens.

So...whose thinking is it that no one coming into the U.S. without permission is NOT an illegal? I thought that was part of our Constitution. Not only should that person who is coming into our country without permission be deported, but also the person or persons who put them up to it should be deported or at least have their voting rights rescinded. To me, this issue seems very close to treason.
