President Trump's State Department under Secretary Marco Rubio just dropped the hammer on visa mills that have been flooding America with welfare seekers for decades. The agency announced it's halting visa processing for a whopping 75 nations considered high-risk for producing applicants who come to America primarily to collect government benefits.

The list reads like a who's who of America's enemies and failed states: Iran, Russia, Afghanistan, and the notorious welfare magnet Somalia top the roster. This isn't some minor policy tweak - this is Trump delivering on his core promise to put American taxpayers first.

The visa halt will remain in place while the State Department conducts a comprehensive reassessment of the entire visa process. Translation: the days of rubber-stamping applications from countries that hate us are over.

No More Welfare Tourism

For too long, America's generous immigration system has been exploited by foreign nationals who view our social safety net as their personal piggy bank. While hardworking Americans struggle with inflation and rising costs, we've been subsidizing migrants from hostile nations who contribute nothing but drain our resources.

Somalia alone has sent hundreds of thousands of refugees to America, with entire communities in Minnesota becoming welfare-dependent enclaves that reject American values. Meanwhile, Iran continues to chant "Death to America" while their citizens line up for visas to our country.

This is exactly the kind of common-sense policy that got Trump re-elected. Americans are tired of being the world's welfare office while our own citizens suffer.

Deep State Meltdown Coming

You can bet the globalist establishment and their media lapdogs will scream "racism" and "xenophobia" over this perfectly reasonable policy. They'll trot out sob stories about "families being separated" while ignoring the American families being bankrupted by supporting foreign welfare recipients.

But Trump isn't backing down. This is just the beginning of dismantling the immigration industrial complex that has enriched NGOs and lawyers while betraying American workers.

Patriots, this is what winning looks like. When you elect America First leaders, you get America First policies. How long before the liberal meltdown machine kicks into overdrive over actually protecting American interests?

This is exactly what we voted for - common sense immigration policies that prioritize American safety. Does anyone know if this includes student visas too?

Finally! A president who actually puts America's security first instead of worrying about what the UN thinks. These high-risk countries have been gaming our system for years.

Exactly right. I served overseas and saw firsthand how lax vetting processes created real security risks.
