State Department considering $100,000 bonds on green card applicants

The Trump administration is contemplating a significant new requirement for green card applicants: a $100,000 bond. This measure aims to ensure that applicants can cover potential legal and financial obligations during the lengthy green card process. While the idea is to deter fraudulent applications and ensure applicants' financial stability, critics argue it could disproportionately affect low-income individuals and families seeking a better life in the U.S. This move highlights ongoing debates about the fairness and accessibility of the immigration system.
