The Trump Administration’s Latest Crackdown on Legal Immigration
About this episode
The episode discusses the Trump administration's new regulation on student visas and its implications, along with insights on U.S. consumer debt and oil exploration in Iraq.
P.M. Edition for July 16. A new regulation from the Trump administration will cap student visas to a maximum of four years, and require extensions to stay longer. Journal immigration reporter Michelle Hackman gets into how big a change this is and what students—and U.S. companies—will be most affected. Plus, Chevron says it plans to explore how to help Iraqi oil bypass the Strait of Hormuz. And a new report from the Pew Charitable Trusts shows that debt collectors took more debtors to court last year. We hear from WSJ economics reporter Dan Frosch about what that suggests about the health of the U.S. consumer. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.
