US Court Strikes Down Trump Visa Ban Affecting South Asian Nations The US court's decision to strike down Trump era visa restrictions targeting South Asian nations has shed light on a disturbing trend in immigration policy: using nationality as a pretext for bureaucratic bullying.
Proponents of the original policy claimed it was necessary to prevent "public charges" from draining resources, but this argument belies a more insidious motive.
By categorically blocking visas based on nationality, the Trump administration effectively disregarded Congress's intent to create a merit based system.
