U.S. immigration agency launches re-examination of green card holders from 19 countries 'of concern'

USCIS Launches Sweeping Review of Green Card Holders from Countries Considered 'Deficient'

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced a comprehensive review of all green card holders from 19 countries deemed "deficient" in screening and vetting, according to a presidential proclamation issued last June.

This move comes as the administration seeks to re-examine the vetting process for immigrants from these countries, citing concerns over national security. The agency's director, Joseph Edlow, stated that the review will ensure that "protecting this country remains paramount" and will not allow previous administrations' policies to put American lives at risk.

Afghanistan, Haiti, Iran, and Venezuela are among the 19 countries on the list of "countries of concern." Authorities have not provided a motive for the shooting in Washington D.C. but have confirmed that the suspect has ties to the Afghan military and was granted asylum just this year.

The administration is now scrutinizing the vetting process that allowed the suspect, identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, into the country. Trump claimed that the suspect had "gone cuckoo" and praised his vetting process, although details surrounding the alleged shooting remain unclear.

The review of green card holders from these countries will be a rigorous examination of every Green Card in the system to ensure that the nation remains safe for its citizens.
 
πŸ€” I'm not sure what's going on with this "sweeping review" thingy... 19 countries deemed "deficient"? Like, how does one country even get marked as deficient? What's the criteria here? And what exactly are they hoping to find out about these green card holders that would make a difference in national security? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I mean, I'm all for keeping our country safe and secure, but this feels like just another case of "let's review everything" without actually making any real changes. And what about the people who are already living here with green cards? Are they just going to be thrown under the bus because of a few perceived national security risks? πŸ™„

I'm also not buying into all this "protecting America remains paramount" rhetoric. Where's the evidence that this review is actually going to do anything to prevent another shooting like this one? It feels like just more bureaucratic red tape to me... πŸ’”
 
omg, i'm low-key freaked out about this 🀯 so, basically what's going on is the uscis is reviewing all the green cards from 19 countries that are considered "deficient" in screening and vetting... can you even imagine? i mean, i get it, national security is important and all that jazz 😊 but what does this mean for ppl who have lived here their whole lives with legit visas? are they gonna be suddenly deported or something? πŸ€” it's just so many questions and not enough info... and btw, 19 countries? that sounds like a pretty broad brush to me 🎨
 
omg what's going on with our country 🀯 i mean i get it national security is important but like come on why do we have to scrutinize every single person from these countries? isn't that just gonna lead to more people being detained and deported? 🚫 and now they're reviewing all the green card holders from these "deficient" countries which means ppl who were just trying to build a new life here are gonna get thrown under the bus. πŸ€• what about the ones who have been living here for years, paying taxes, contributing to society? aren't they good enough? πŸ˜”
 
Ugh I'm literally losing it over this 🀯!! Like what even is the point of this?? So now people from Afghanistan, Haiti, Iran, and Venezuela are getting their green cards re-examined just because of national security concerns? It's like, come on! How many hoops do these people have to jump through already?! And yeah, I get it, we want to keep our country safe, but at what cost?! This is just going to create so much uncertainty and anxiety for these families who are trying to build a life here. What if they can't get their green card back? What if they're stuck in limbo forever?! πŸ€• And don't even get me started on the fact that this review is being done in secret without any transparency or accountability... it's just so unfair! 😑
 
omg u guys this is crazy! so they're re-examining all green card holders from 19 countries deemed "deficient" 🀯 i feel bad for those ppl who already went through the vetting process and got their visas... it's like they're being punished twice πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ

i don't know what's more worrying - the fact that some green card holders might be affected or the lack of transparency around this whole thing πŸ€” i mean, why were these countries specifically chosen? was it something in the news? did someone complain about one of them? πŸ“°

i hope this review is done carefully and not just a bunch of arbitrary decisions... we need to make sure that whoever is doing this is actually looking at the evidence and not just making assumptions 🧐
 
So I'm low-key shocked about this whole thing πŸ€”. Like, how does it even come to this? You're telling me we're re-examining the vetting process for people from countries like Afghanistan and Iran just because there was a shooting in D.C.? I mean, I get it, national security is a big deal and all that, but can't we be more nuanced about it? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

And what's with Trump's comments on this guy who was granted asylum just last year? Like, didn't he say something about the vetting process being fine or whatever? Now we're saying that maybe it wasn't so great after all? It's like, we can't even agree on what we want anymore πŸ˜‚.

Anyway, I guess this review is just gonna be a huge headache for a lot of people 🀯. I mean, think about it - millions of people have green cards from these countries and now they're all gonna be scrutinized? It's just not right. We should be working to build bridges, not walls 🚧.
 
the news is really worrying 😬 i mean, how are they gonna know if some guy from afghanistan just got a green card? what's gonna happen to all those people who've been living here for years? it's like one day you're a citizen, next thing you know your visa is being revoked 🀯 and now this review? it's all so uncertain...
 
πŸš¨πŸ’ΈπŸ‘€ US is reviewing 19 countries πŸ€―πŸŒŽπŸ“ Afghanistan, Haiti, Iran & Venezuela are on the list 🚫😬. What's next? Reviewing all green card holders? πŸ˜‚πŸ” Who's gonna vet the vetters? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ’ͺ
