The United States will test the potential of migrants on the history of social networks

The administration of the trump intends to introduce new requirements for migrants wishing to move to the United States. Now they can require you to present the story in social networks such as Twitter and Facebook over the past five years. This step is a continuation of the policy monitoring of social networks of migrants after the incident in San Bernardino.

US authorities expect that this initiative will affect nearly 15 million potential applicants for immigration. The only exception will be made for diplomats and the recipients of visas for official visits. The decision on the monitoring of the history of social networks has not yet entered into force. While this is only a proposal for discussion which is allocated 60 days.

The initiative already has many critics. Some of them accuses the administration trump the violation of the right of migrants to freedom: they will be carefully proofread their posts, deleting those which may be refused a visa. Others note that the monitoring history in the social networks of each applicant will increase the processing time of visa applications and make the process of immigration is cumbersome.

We will remind that during the investigation of a shooting in San Bernardino, police learned that one of the attackers, who had recently arrived in the United States, regularly disseminated in the social networks of information of a radical nature. Thus, early monitoring of its network account could cause a logical suspicion of the migration service and he would be denied entry.
