Border Report – Border Report Live: Migrants will be screened for anti-American sentiments

HARLINGEN, Texas (Border Report) — A decrease in ICE arrests but an uptick in the removal of immigrants in July, as well as information on new questions being asked of visa applicants were discussed Tuesday in the latest edition of Border Report Live.

South Texas correspondent Sandra Sanchez and host Rudy Mireles went over the detention facilities with the most immigrant detainees to date and what the numbers look like.

They talked about a new policy announced Tuesday by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to screen visa applicants. It means that those with past ties to terrorist organizations or anti-American causes will not be allowed into the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

They also updated a new visa bond policy that takes effect on Wednesday and which countries citizens could be forced to pay up to $15,000 for a visa into the United States.

Plus an update on the New World screwworm and $100 million the Department of Agriculture is sinking into stopping the parasitic fly from getting to the Texas border, as well as an update on where it is now in its northward trek.
