Banana republic shit. Pure and simple.

I'm pretty sure a bunch of three-letter agencies have intel on potential extremists entering the country legally. Intel agencies in allied countries do share this information.

This is nothing more than a move to stop the "politically undesirable" from entering the country. I guess it's going to work like this:

- Crawl all social media activity (and probably mails, text messages, etc. in the future)

- Run a semantic analysis, if the person scores high on subjects which MAGA opposes, refuse entry.

Stopping "activist students" is to kick open that door.
