The US government’s Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) is considering monitoring not just the social media posts of non-citizens coming into the country, but also all those already in America going through an immigration or citizenship process.
Adding more criteria for completion, without guidelines as to what types of social media posts or commentary on social media would trigger adverse consequences, will make things more complicated and potentially confusing for USCIS adjudicators, immigration lawyers, and immigrants themselves. Where there might be a chilling effect is on immigrants’ social media usage.
