Washington va faire la chasse aux idées "antiaméricaines" chez les candidats à l'immigration
The US government said Tuesday it would look for "anti-American" views, including on social media, when deciding whether people can reside in the United States.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which handles applications for residence in the United States or for naturalization, announced that it will strengthen its monitoring of social media posts by applicants for immigration to the United States.
"Benefits offered by the United States should not be extended to those who despise the country and promote anti-American ideologies," Matthew Tragesser, a spokesman for the agency, said in a statement.
"The benefits of immigration, including the right to live and work in the United States, remain a privilege, not a right," he added.
The U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, which dates back to 1952, defines anti-Americanism, which at the time was primarily aimed at communists.
President Donald Trump's administration has already taken steps to deny or revoke short-term visas to individuals deemed incompatible with U.S. foreign policy interests.
The latest guidelines state that U.S. authorities will also examine whether candidates "promote anti-Semitic ideologies."
The Trump administration has accused international students of anti-Semitism for protesting Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip, accusations they deny. It has also targeted prominent universities, alleging they were allowing anti-Semitic ideas to spread on their campuses.
On Monday, the State Department announced that it had revoked 6,000 student visas since Secretary of State Marco Rubio took office in January.
