Strong hit on migrants: US massively withdraws visas under Trump

The administration of US President Donald Trump has decided to cancel more than 250,000 visas. This was told by the official representative of the State Department Tommy Pigott on the air of Fox News.

The official called the figure a "historic milestone" symbolizing the authorities' determination to keep Americans safe. Every decision was made in the interests of national defense. Through extensive inspections, the agency identified individuals involved in crimes, supporting terrorism or defrauding the immigration system.

Pigott stressed that the American visa is a privilege, not a right. Violation of the conditions of stay leads to the immediate loss of this status.

Earlier, the State Department announced the introduction of visa restrictions for citizens of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. These measures affected persons suspected of corruption and drug trafficking.
