President Trump fulfills his campaign pledge to crack down on immigrants who overstay their visas.
Based on the president’s executive order on illegal immigration, the State Department has issued new guidelines for “overstayers.”
It targets foreign students and workers who do not return home when their visas expire, and also urges U.S. diplomats to look skeptically at new visa applicants.
The Department of Homeland Security reported 739,000 immigrants have overstayed their student and work visas during the last fiscal year.
On the campaign trail, President Trump vowed to crack down on those who stay past their visa expiration dates as part of his plan to tackle illegal immigration.
