Trump's unfair crackdown on visa overstays

First, they came for the asylees and the refugees. Then they came for the children at the southern border. And now they are coming for the visa overstays. In a memorandum issued on April 22, President Donald Trump ordered the Department of State to work with governments with overstay rates of more than 10%, in an effort to dramatically reduce those numbers. Though Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been tasked with reporting back to the President in four months with recommendations, the memorandum indicates that one solution could be limiting or even suspending visas for people from countries with high overstay rates.

Nope

It came from outer space. Or somewhere. Something’s hovering over Otis Haywood’s (Keith David, Barbershop) ranch in SoCal’s parched Santa Clarita Valley. Otis comes from a long line of horsemen and is a noted animal wrangler for TV and film. His son OJ (David Kaluuya, Get Out) works beside him and his stallions. That thing in the sky looks like it’s swooping things up and propelling things down. They better be careful...

Five days ago, 12,700 United Auto Workers Union (UAW) workers walked out in the first strike wave against the Big Three automakers – GM, Ford, and Stellantis (the company that took over Chrysler).
