Trump Orders Crackdown on Illegal Aliens Overstaying Their Visas in U.S.

President Trump is ordering a crackdown on the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who overstay their visas after arriving in the United States wit a presidential memorandum.

On Monday, Trump signed the memorandum, which calls for the State Department and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to “immediately begin taking all appropriate actions” to reduce the overstay rates for all nonimmigrant visas — that is the more than 415,000 illegal aliens who originally arrived in the U.S. legally but overstayed their visas and have yet to leave.


Specifically, Trump is ordering Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and DHS officials to provide his administration with recommendations within 120 days on how to effectively cut the number of B-1 and B-2 visa overstays from countries that have a visa overstay rate higher than ten percent. Those countries include:

• Djibouti
• Chad
• Yemen
• Eritrea
• Burundi
• Palau
• Syria
• Angola
• Nigeria
• South Sudan
• Liberia
• Bhutan
• Afghanistan
• Somalia
• Sudan
• Cabo Verde
• Congo
• Mauritania
• Georgia
• Laos

The presidential memorandum reads:

Nonimmigrant visa overstay rates are unacceptably high for nationals of certain countries. Aliens must abide by the terms and conditions of their visas for our immigration system to function as intended … individuals who abuse the visa process and decline to abide by the terms and conditions of their visas, including their visa departure dates, undermine the integrity of our immigration system and harm the national interest.

Djibouti, Chad, Yemen, and Eritrea have the highest B-1 and B-2 visa overstay rates in the U.S. Djibouti, alone, has a visa overstay rate of nearly 45 percent. Chad has a visa overstay rate of nearly 31 percent, while Yemen and Eritrea each have an overstay rate above 25 percent.


The Trump administration could suspend or put limits on legal immigration from these foreign countries who have visa overstay rates above ten percent as part of the effort to curb the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. who arrived legally.


“We’re shutting a back door to illegal immigration, a White House official told Breitbart News.
Additionally, the memorandum calls for DHS and the State Department to develop plans within 120 days to implement an admission bonds program where nationals arriving in the U.S will be required to pay a bond that they would be returned when they return to their home country because their visa has expired. Should a visa holder not return home, the bond amount would be withheld.


An admission bond policy already exists in current immigration law, but the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency has yet to enforce the program in all cases.


NumbersUSA’s Rosemary Jenks told Breitbart News the plan’s most effective element would be the implementation of admission bonds to cut the number of visa overstays, but she questioned why the “most important tool” in stopping visa overstays, full implementation of the Biometric Entry/Exit system, was excluded.


“In terms of what is in the memo, the use of admission bonds probably would have the most immediate impact on reducing overstays,” Jenks said. “Additional impacts will depend on how the State Department and DHS respond. I’m surprised at the glaring omission of the single most important tool for reducing overstays: completion of the automated, biometric exit system, first required by law in 1996.”


As of March, there were more than 415,000 illegal aliens in the U.S. who had overstayed their visas. This includes more than 300,000 illegal aliens who arrived in the U.S. from countries that are not part of the Visa Waiver Program, which allows certain nationals to come to the country for up to 90 days without obtaining a visa. In total, 20 foreign countries have visa overstay rates that exceed ten percent. About 40 percent of the 12 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the country came legally and overstayed their visas, according to the Center for Immigration Studies.

Crackdown----really Breitbart?

Crackdown to come up with a plan in 120 days when there already is a plan on the books that isn't being enforced.

Yeah, we know 2020 is coming, ain't gonna work this time, at least not with me.

How about CRACKDOWN on the illegal aliens who are in our schools, on our welfare and food stamps, in OUR housing, in our hospitals and on our Medicaid programs!

How about CRACKDOWN and prosecute the Governors, Mayors and Judges who are harboring, aiding, abetting and letting them loose on our streets to commit crimes against us.

How about CRACKDOWN on the IRS tax refunds to illegal aliens.

How about CRACKDOWN and deem all drivers licenses issued to illegal aliens Null & Void!!! That is aiding and abetting!

How about CRACKDOWN on the Anchor Baby SCAM! Sign that Executive Order to end birthright citizenship and get it to the Supreme Court TODAY! Not two damn years from now!

How about CRACKDOWN on the border and shut it down...all of it!

OPERATION RETURN TO SENDER!

Crackdown? A memo asking for recommendations in 120 days becomes a Crackdown? Oh Im sure that will put the fear in the illegals and get them leaving by droves... NOT.

I don't see India on this list. As far as I know, people from India, with visas, have saturated the IT job market in this country. This at a time when most Americans with an IT degree can't find a job because there's more people with these degrees than there are jobs in that sector, but yet, we're importing ten of thousands of people from India to take these jobs when our own citizens can't even get these jobs. Why the hell do we need these people? There is no shortage of IT workers in this country.

How about Trump puts out a statement to the country, with NO questions asked by the media, and get out there on National TV and announce that if you are here and have overstayed YOUR Visa...you need to sell out, pack up and go home!

Do a pre-recorded video! No media circus!

You will not have your Visa renewed...and if you are caught you will NOT be able to apply for a Visa or come back to this country for 10 years!
