Immigrants to forego privacy if they want entry new rules say

[Cuddles]

What the fuck are you and your house mates smoking today to celebrate Pride Month? Immigration Law and the State Dept. along with their vetting procedures is a different branch of Law separate from Employment Laws for US Citizens.

Should I also be against TSA and US Customs agents checking my bags after an international flight because that is somehow equivalent to an employer checking an employee's laptop bag or contents of their wallet on the spot?

For having such a homophobic view in life, you sure are a willing volunteer for having fascists bend you over.

Some employers do require that their employees disclose social media & email passwords. There are laws against this in some states, but that's not universal. An individual can avoid this invasion of privacy by finding a different place to work. Immigrants have the same option. They can avoid this invasion of privacy by not applying for a visa.

The article makes it seem like this rule only apply to people seeking permanent or semi-permanent residence in the U.S. That wouldn't really affect the travel industry, would it?

Reads to me like anyone seeking a visa including a traveler visa, which are also issued for business travel not just tourism

the department says it has updated its immigrant and nonimmigrant visa forms to request the additional information, including "social media identifiers," from almost all U.S. applicants.

Well, obviously a terrorist is not going to comply. It'll probably just result in a lot of false positives, and create
havoc for a lot of innocent people. But I guess that is life in the world today.

I heard only gun carrying criminals ignore the law
