Via Aaron Melnick:#McCarthyism returns to #immigration #law, as #USCIS announces that it will begin screening applicants for immigration benefits for "Anti-America ideologies or activities." The term has no prior precedent in immigration law & its definition is entirely up to the #Trump admin.#Constitution #CivilRights #FreeSpeech #ThoughtPolice #ViewPointDiscrimination #dissent #NaziState #authoritarianism #autocracy #tyranny

The new #policy on "anti-Americanism" comes days after the #Trump admin tightened standards for #naturalization, moving away from a standard where the required "good moral character" is shown by an absence of disqualifying offenses to a rule where applicants must prove they are "worthy" of #citizenship.#immigration #law #Constitution #CivilRights #FreeSpeech #ThoughtPolice #ViewPointDiscrimination #dissent #NaziState #authoritarianism #autocracy #tyranny

@Nonilex Leading an insurrection is anti-American.

@Nonilex "Positive factors include, but not limited to". Leaves unwritten the rule that the darker your skin tone the less worthy you are.

@Nonilex that leaves out someone who bragged about paying de minimis taxes, appoints "not qualified" judges, incited insurrection, pardons every kind of scum --will this work retroactively ?

@Nonilex The son of an American friend married a Vietnamese woman. In 2024 the US government granted her a visa. However, the US Embassy in Hanoi will not schedule an appointment so that she might pick it up. Her husband has changed jobs so that he can work remotely part of the year overseas. Comment seems superfluous!
