CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN:
Work Permits Cut From 5 Years to 18 Months.

The Trump administration is drastically reducing the length of time for foreigners’ work permits within the USA. Now it’s time to end the H-1B visa program.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) posted a Wall Street Journal article on Friday, announcing the change to work permit duration. This is the latest in a string of immigration reforms enacted by the Trump administration following the shooting of two National Guardsmen in D.C. just before Thanksgiving by an Afghan illegal.
USCIS Director Joe Edlow said that the purpose of the reduction is to ensure the federal government can re-vet and reassess foreign workers more often. He also confirmed that the move was in response to the D.C. shooting.
“It’s clear that USCIS must enforce more frequent vetting of aliens,” Edlow told WSJ. “All aliens must remember that working in the United States is a privilege, not a right.” The Trump administration is trying to trigger reverse migration out of America, encouraging foreigners who are taking American jobs or presenting a threat to American communities to leave the country.
