The Trump administration is preparing to revoke the business and tourism visas of up to 200,000 foreigners who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum status in the United States. If it happens, the move would be the largest single mass revocation of visas in U.S. history and would likely face legal challenges.
Unless challenged or revised, the State Department is expected to announce in the coming weeks the revocation of so-called B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026 whose holders have sought asylum or are now seeking asylum, according to State Department documents obtained by The Associated Press and two U.S. officials. The action will be taken in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security.
“We are coordinating with DHS to identify and revoke the nonimmigrant visas of foreigners who have come to the United States claiming to be short-term visitors, but then file for asylum to stay here permanently,” said State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott.
He declined to comment on the number of visas that might be revoked, saying “as the process will be ongoing, the number of revocations remains dynamic and will be done on a rolling basis.”
The revocations would not necessarily result in their immediate deportation, the officials said. Most of those with asylum cases currently pending would be recategorized but would lose their status as business or tourism travelers, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the revocations are not final yet.
Since President Donald Trump took office for his second term last year, his administration has steadily ramped up restrictions on visa applicants — demanding more information about their social media histories, requiring the posting of expensive bonds for the processing of visas, and outright banning the issuance of visas to citizens of certain countries.

“In the past 18 months, the State Department has revoked about 175,000 visas for people who have been convicted or accused of crimes ranging from drunken driving to rape and robbery, as well as for people who have spoken out publicly against U.S. policies, particularly in the Middle East.”
More, Please!
GREAT!
I voted for this.
More more more, please. Then close the INS for at least 10 years.
Wonderful! GET OUT!
needs to be done yesterday, because you KNOW that leftist judges will hold it up for years until the SC can say it was ok to do this.
I wonder at what point after several million have been deported or self-deport, when to expect rent proces to drop due to the many vacancies in apartments and homes?
I’d also love to see a cap on the number of properties a non-citizen can own. Don’t let them leave and then have 10 rentals they have built up.
GTFO!
And why is the largest mass revocation of visas in US history necessary? Because of the criminal open borders immigration policy of the Biden Administration. That is always left unsaid in these MSM propaganda articles.
Exactly. You can trace any and all ‘problems’ in the US to Socialist Democrat ‘policies’ which are always hellbent on harming America and Americans.
Hopefully, a lot of the cr@ppy docs and nurses will be included.
Hadn’t thought of that. Another bonus! :)
I honestly wonder if prices will drop. Where I live, I see acres of farmland being built into ghettos to house who-knows-who. The farmland will never come back. The rich soil is scraped off, sold and replaced with rocks. Even when the buildings crumble, there will be nothing left.
Too many people are invested in selling out America to the Chinese. Hopefully, they did not want children, because the Creed of Greed does not offer them.
How many of them will leave now that they’ve been instructed to?
I’d like to see an army of concerned citizens volunteer to interview these people on the way out. Most will be a credit to this country and we’ll need them. They’ve ALREADY been vetted as long as they’ve broken no law and NOT on government assistance. No socialist volunteers doing the interviews. Make the overstayers pay a negligible fine by getting a loan from a bank or make their employer pay.
A lot of them game the system by getting a 3 month tourist visa, only to then claim asylum. It’s a total racket.
No one should be given a tourist visa to enter the USA unless they have $50000 in assets back in their own country. This would keep out the bums who are trying to enter the USA just to exploit out generosity.
Lol... but sadly, it would be much more likely that Sally Struthers would be stumping for $28.99 to help save and feed one of those poor “undocmented migrants” until they could be relocated to a nice, safe area (sanctuary city).
I read something the other day saying that many of them have FAKE med degrees.
How wonderful is that??
