WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration said Thursday it is reviewing more than 55 million people who have valid U.S. visas for any violations that could lead to deportation, part of a growing crackdown on foreigners who are permitted to be in the United States.

In a written answer to a question from The Associated Press, the State Department said all U.S. visa holders, which can include tourists from many countries, are subject to “continuous vetting,” with an eye toward any indication they could be ineligible for permission to enter or stay in the United States.

Should such information be found, the visa will be revoked, and if the visa holder is in the United States, he or she would be subject to deportation.

The casual visitor is going to look for more welcoming places to go where they won’t get locked in a cell for months because of a minor misstep or because the CBP officer was having a bad day.

Blood and saliva tests for diseases or anything else that may disqualify entry? Just speculating here but you know this will go further.

Criminal activity as in Section 2 would make Krasnov ineligible, but the contradiction to policy regarding immunizations found in Section 1 for immigrants as compared to maga is astounding.

...who has failed to present documentation of having received vaccination against vaccine-preventable diseases, which shall include at least the following diseases: mumps, measles, rubella, polio, tetanus and diphtheria toxoids, pertussis, influenza type B and hepatitis B, and any other vaccinations against vaccine-preventable diseases...

RFK Jr., anti vaxxers, and ivermectin addicts are considered to be just fine.
