Alien Act In USA: Trump Going All Out?

The President of United States, Donald Trump is going all out with regard to his strict immigration policies as he is looking to keep immigrants at bay. He is leaving no stone unturned to make sure that his country is free from the immigration migration that has been troubling them for the last few years.

In this context, the Trump administration has introduced a new policy where everyone entering United States must enrol with the Federal authorities, if they are going to stay in the country for more than 30 days.

The United States government has introduced a new regulation requiring all foreign nationals who remain in the country for more than 30 days to register with federal authorities. This policy is being enforced under the provisions of the Alien Registration Act of 1940, following a recent executive order signed by President Donald Trump, titled “Protecting the American People Against Invasion.” The directive applies to a wide range of foreign residents, including those on temporary visas, student visas, work permits, and even legal permanent residents.

According to the order, individuals must complete their registration through a designated online system by submitting personal information such as their full name, address, visa status, and in certain cases, biometric data like fingerprints.

The administration claims the move is aimed at strengthening national security and monitoring foreign presence in the country more effectively.

Non-compliance with the registration requirement carries serious consequences. Individuals who fail to register within the stipulated time frame may face penalties, including fines of up to $5,000, imprisonment for up to six months, and even the possibility of deportation.

The directive has raised concerns among immigrant communities and legal experts, who see it as a potentially discriminatory measure that may lead to legal and humanitarian challenges.
