Trump Finds His Next Scapegoat: Immigrant Visas
The New Arab reports that following a National Guard attack, Donald Trump's administration will launch a “full scale, rigorous reexamination of every Green Card holder.” This comes directly from an administration known for its 'Muslim Ban' (Executive Order 13769, 2017) and separating families at the border, all under the guise of national security. It's a classic play from the authoritarian
playbook: when a real problem emerges, blame the most vulnerable. One might wonder if any 'reexamination' will ever be applied to the policies that breed such instability, or if this is simply another opportunity to sow fear and division, conveniently distracting from the administration's own track record. How many times have we seen a tragic event immediately weaponized to tighten immigration
controls, rather than addressing systemic issues?
