Trump State Dept. Approves Stricter Vetting for Visa Seekers

The U.S. State Department under President Trump has introduced stricter vetting procedures for all visa seekers.

The State Department approved the new rules last week in an effort to follow-through on Trump’s campaign promise to tighten security issues involving visitors.

Under the new vetting procedures, foreigners would need to submit:

Social media accounts for the last five years Biographical information for the last 15 years All previous passport numbers 15 years’ worth of travel history Employment history for the last 15 years Email addresses Phone numbers Any relatives, including siblings, children and spouses

A State Department official told Reuters that additional information would have to be provided if the agency required it.

The new measures may be the beginning of the “extreme vetting” process Trump promised.

Last month, Breitbart Texas reported how the Trump Administration was reviewing a plan to test foreign nationals’ ideologies to gauge potential threats.

I had better not count on traveling to any country that requires a visa then. I don’t think I could answer 3, 4, or 8. Not entirely.

Why couldn’t Trump do this instead of the Ban? While I support the Ban, I would hope Trump and Department of State have already been extreme vetting of Anyone wanting a visa to come into this country.

Well there are Mexico, Canada, and the thirty-eight countries that don't require visas. But if you ever had a burning desire to visit India, China, Russia, or Israel then I think you're hosed.

As each muslim comes thru the door, hand them a lunch box containing a BLT sandwich. If they throw it out, show them the door to the plane back.
