Trump admin to slap up to $250,000 bond on some immigration visas to ensure migrants aren't coming for free handouts

Trump Administration Requires Bonds Up to $250,000 for Certain Immigrant Visa Applicants

The Trump administration has launched a program requiring prospective immigrants from certain countries, starting with the Dominican Republic, to post refundable bonds ranging from $100,000 to $250,000 to obtain U.S. visas. The initiative aims to ensure immigrants can support themselves without relying on taxpayer-funded public benefits.
