Hey Greenland please check Usha Vance's social media accounts and postings.

Trump Admin Wants to Inspect Immigrants’ Social Media Profiles

The Trump administration may soon scan the social media accounts of green card and citizenship applicants for “hostile attitudes” toward the U.S. or sympathy for terrorists.

Earlier this month, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) proposed collecting the social media handles of applicants for naturalization, permanent residence, and asylum, expanding a policy that currently only applies to non-immigrant and immigrant visa applicants.

USCIS, an agency under the Homeland Security Department, said the collection of social media handles is “necessary” to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order “Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats.”

“The United States must ensure that admitted aliens and aliens otherwise already present in the United States do not bear hostile attitudes toward its citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles, and do not advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to our national security,” the order reads.

The president does not take an oath to protect the American people like maga says. The president takes an oath to protect and defend the constitution and see that the laws are faithfully executed. Nothing in there about protecting the people.

First, they want access social media accounts for applicants and immigrants.

How much longer before they will want access to all registered Democrats’ accounts?
