@pbsnews: The State Department on Wednesday said it's resuming the process to allow foreigners to apply for student visas, but applicants will now have to make their social media accounts public for review, or they could be rejected. The department said its officers will be looking for signs of "hostility toward the citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles of the United States." Last month, the Trump administration temporarily stopped scheduling new interviews for such visas as part of a broader crackdown on overseas students hoping to study in the U.S.#news #pbsnews #statedepartment #trumpnews #trumpadministration #student #visas

"hostility" is such a broad term that could be absolutely meaningless.

Word of advice from an American… don’t apply for a visa, don’t study here, you won’t be safe. Our country has gone to hell and I’m so sorry.

So freedom of speech and choice of deferred opinion doesn’t stand a chance in America.

So one of the founding principles is freedom of speech, a.k.a. you’re allowed to criticize your government have different beliefs and views so just the basis of their bill that they’re passing is impeding on freedom of speech
