‼️For many foreign nationals, a new visa fee will increase the cost of traveling to the United States by $250 ⚠️
➡️ The “visa integrity fee,” included in the sweeping policy legislation that President Donald Trump signed into law this month, will require visitors traveling on a non-immigrant visa to pay an additional $250. ➡️ This group includes leisure and business travelers as well as international students from a wide range of countries such as India, China, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa and the Philippines. ➡️ Applicants must pay this amount on top of other visa fees that often total nearly $200. The Department of Homeland Security can adjust the fee based on inflation, starting in October. The bill does not specify when the fee will go into effect. In a statement, DHS said the new law “provides the necessary policies and resources to restore integrity in our nation’s immigration system. The visa integrity fee requires cross-agency coordination before implementation.” Source: The Washington Post

TRUMP HITS LOWEST APPROVAL OF SECOND TERM AT 37%
Six months in and the honeymoon's over. Independents crashed from 45% to 29% - that's the real story here. Republicans still at 89% (cult-like loyalty intact). Democrats at 2% (shocking absolutely nobody). The independent collapse matters most. They decide elections, and they're abandoning ship at record pace...
