NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A tourist visa should not become a Trojan horse for permanent immigration. While Washington has spent years focused on the southern border, one of the most consequential loopholes may begin at a consulate, where someone promises to visit temporarily and later files for asylum to remain. That is why the Trump administration is preparing to revoke the visitor visas of up to 200,000 foreign nationals who later sought asylum. Critics will call this anti-immigrant, but enforcing the terms of a visa defends every immigrant who entered legally and honestly. It is also how the United States protects the integrity of legal immigration.A visitor visa begins with a representation that an applicant is seeking permission to enter the United States temporarily. A B-1 visa permits limited business activities, such as attending meetings or conferences, while a B-2 visa covers tourism, vacations, visits with family or friends and certain medical treatment. Applicants must complete a visa application, establish a legitimate purpose for the trip and persuade the government that they intend to leave when their authorized stay ends. Permanent residence is not a permitted purpose of a visitor visa.Asylum, by contrast, protects people who…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Rep. Stephen Lynch, who has cultivated a relatively conservative reputation while representing Massachusetts for the past quarter-century, has defeated a well-funded progressive challenger.Patrick Roath, an attorney and one-time aide for former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, challenged Lynch from the left, outraising him by about $300,000. Lynch and Roath clashed over a number of issues on the campaign trail, namely immigration, healthcare, money in politics and housing.Lynch was one of 46 House Democrats to vote in favor of the Laken Riley Act, legislation requiring federal authorities to detain certain migrants accused or convicted of theft and other specified crimes. Roath, who supported dismantling and replacing ICE, cited Lynch’s support for the bill as part of his reason for entering the race.MEET THE FAR-LEFT INSURGENTS WAGING WAR ON THE DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT IN 2026 MIDTERMS Roath criticized Lynch’s support of the bill as “shortsighted and expedient” and argued that it “demonstrates a fundamental failure to take seriously the threat that the Trump Administration poses to all Americans.”Lynch acknowledged that the Laken Riley Act was “imperfect,” but defended his vote principally as a response to what he called an immigration system that was “completely out of…

NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan — China’s navy has introduced a new guided-missile frigate designed for coastal as well as open-sea attacks after 20 years in the making, according to Chinese state media.Not quite a technological breakthrough, military analysts say.But the 054A frigate has advantages that are expected to raise the People’s Liberation Army Navy clout along and beyond the Chinese southeast coasts and in turn fluster nearby Taiwan and Japan – each with concerns about Beijing’s maritime activities – while putting the United States on higher alert, analysts say.The frigate comparable to the U.S. Navy’s Constellation-class ships can operate in blue waters, meaning open seas far from its own coasts — an asset that its predecessors lacked, said David Silbey, a military historian and associate teaching professor with the Cornell Brooks School of Public Policy.RELATEDChina’s 054A could do anti-submarine warfare as well due to its helicopter launch features, Silbey added. Helicopters increase a warship’s submarine detection range. The frigates could be produced fast in high numbers, he added.State media outlets reported that the frigate did a training mission on Aug. 22. Part of a PLA Eastern Theater Command flotilla, it joined other vessels for combat-related training, command coordination tests and…
