State Department was commanded to make a list of countries by visa overstay rate and all decisions made based on that sheet regardless of merit.
Just like tariffs were decided, and a bunch of microscopic pacific islands are being judged by trade deficits.
- badc0ffee 10mo agoVisa overstay rate does at least relate to the issue at hand, because visa overstays are what they're trying to prevent. But trade deficits were never a good proxy.
- joecool1029 10mo agoIt's just weird they were even on the radar. I guess I could see a blanket 'any country with over 10% overstaying, bond required'. Otherwise can't think of any identity/tribal reason... maybe tobacco lobbyists requested since they tried to ban smoking?
