And also what were the people that were getting paid to do this doing while they weren't doing this.

From the article for those who don't want to click:

In a written answer to a question posed by The Associated Press, the department said that all U.S. visa holders are subject to "continuous vetting" with an eye toward any indication that they could be ineligible for the document.

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 department said it was looking for indicators of ineligibility, including visa overstays, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity, or providing support to a terrorist organization.

"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," the department said.

Since President Donald Trump took office in January, his administration has thus far focused on deporting migrants illegally in the United States as well as holders of student and visitor exchange visas. The State Department's new language suggests that the re-vetting process, which officials acknowledge is time-consuming, is far more widespread.

This is how you make America great again.

so...1/6 of the country are here on visas?

Send them all back

That's insane if true. And then add to that around like 30 million illegals (conservative estimate). Crazy

We have slowly been over-run. Wonder how many of these folks have been voting? How many with fake SS cards?

55 million is A LOT.

Trump is systematically figuring out who the hell is here, and who we can and should get rid of. It's about damn time someone gets a handle on this mess our gov't has created.

Here is where you should be using AI.

Not for silly things like putting dog ears on people when they are on video calls.

I hope they create a website showing progress and visa holders can see their status. I am curious to see what countries have the most deported people.

Waiting for liberal media to squeal.

About 50 million too many, in my view.

I'm not holding my breath for Trump to do anything meaningful. He's already announced he's doing de facto amnesty for the illegals if they are doing cheap labor. His deportation numbers are lower than Obama's

Democrat appointed federal judges hear this and rush to type up as many TROs as possible.

I wish people would stop quoting Obama's "deportation" numbers. They purposefully counted turnaways as deported which is intellectually dishonest but par for the course for Obama.

Most of these people are just servicing other immigrants. There will not be any shortages because this entire cohort is a parallel society servicing and facilitating the immigrant invasion.

and they count in the Census.....(???).

I would not be surprised.

Now consider that visa holders are typically only working age, and you could estimate that 1/3+ of our 18-60 yr old population is here on visa. Taking jobs, services, housing, increasing debt, etc.

Purposely done to break this country.

If the government would just return all the illegals and revoke all the visas- it fixes so many problems for the native citizens. Housing becomes affordable again, wages rise, college graduates can get jobs, etc. It would be massively beneficial to the citizens, but detrimental to the corporations; so the government is not going to do it. Sad

And consider how many are in Texas alone. Honestly if Kamala won I think TEXIT would've been something even the normies would consider

All roads lead to the same gang of culprits.

A difficulty to this analysis: Dem holes where they excuse / under-charge / no-charge immigrants following police encounters.

A thorough screening would require review of police encounters - not just charges or convictions.

I think that is the total on the face of the globe, not all of them are actually here though.

55 million people are here on visas. 55 million. https://t.co/xmW4KDeF8B pic.twitter.com/N0vcFh74JD

Still, it's fairly stupefying. I'd swag that something like half of the folks with them are actually here, plus or minus 20 percent.

The number clearly needs to decrease. I wonder if they are using AI stuff to identify possible criminals/search databases etc. Set the doge nerds into creating a system to figure this stuff out.

This should be happening under every administration. But one side wants a new electorate and in Sotero's words to fundamentally change the United States of America.

Here's one 'visiting scholar' who can be sent packing, Rubio.

🚨 The W.H. has announced there are 55 MILLION U.S. visa holders. Here's one of them:

Too late to stop the harm from these two Biden-Angola pipeline to Mainers.

@DHSgov Patterns like this reveal a spike in overstays from African nations, with Angolan entries up 40% since 2022 per CBP stats. Enforcing visa limits could slash these tragedies—lives depend on it.

Thanks again Mayorkas, and Blinken.

ETA: Susan Collins should answer for her vote to confirm both.

"Although I have disagreed with Mr. Blinken on some important foreign policy issues, he is clearly qualified to lead America's State Department, and it is important for President Biden to have his national security and foreign policy team in place as soon as possible.

I got on the Trump Train in 2015 and got off around 2023. Hit me up when we get some mass deportations like he campaigned about. Try to let the hatred of Obama go; hes been out of office for almost a decade

They have to comply with the laws and the process or they will be stopped from taking action. We did not elect and empower a dictator. The radical left was well aware this would take longer to undo lawfully than it took them to do unlawfully regarding flaunting immigration law and enforcement obligations, but only following or lawfully expediting the process will stick.

"Circle back" in 28 and we'll discuss his progress. I'll continue enjoying him kicking ass. Everyday.

Obama? lol. I'd expect a fanboy comment like yours.

Sweet. Let me know when you stop doing mental self rationalizing gymnastics and/or Trump does deportations like he campaigned on.
