"Aliens who come to the United States temporarily and later seek permanent residency should pursue an immigrant visa through the proper channels back in their home countries before being admitted as immigrants.”

USCIS Director Joseph B. Edlow reposted
This year’s H-1B season is wrapping up, and we’re seeing great results from @POTUS’ new policies that prioritize America First! Stay tuned for more updates, but here’s what we’re seeing so far: ✅More top talent: We’re approving more applicants with advanced degrees and higher salaries—especially those who studied at U.S. universities. An overwhelming 71.5% of selected aliens hold a U.S. master’s degree or higher, compared to 57% last year. ✅Stronger workforce: These skilled workers are making a real impact on our economy and we’re closing the door on the low-wage and low-skilled foreign labor pipeline approved under Biden administration policies. This year, only 17.7% of all selected registrations were in the lowest wage category. ✅Restoring integrity: The number of properly submitted registrations plummeted by 38.5%, from 343,981 in fiscal year 2026 to just 211,600 in fiscal year 2027. This data is a clear sign that the days of abusing the program with mass, low-wage registrations are over, and that the program is better serving its intended purpose of attracting highly skilled foreign workers and protecting the wages, working conditions, and job opportunities of American workers. More details coming soon!

When I became @USCIS Director, I inherited a staggering backlog of asylum cases: 1.5 million—up from 400k in 2021. That was the result of 4 years of unchecked crossings at the border because the previous president didn’t care who they let into our homeland. This @POTUS cares.

When it comes to immigration, we’re upholding standards set by Congress and enforcing requirements that have long been ignored. The Trump administration is taking decisive steps to eliminate fraud and protect American citizens.

There is nothing more precious than the gift of American citizenship. Earning that privilege means: ▪️Assimilation into our culture, ▪️English proficiency, & ▪️A commitment to the principles of our Constitution. We’re taking major steps to reinforce those essentials.

The lengths the Biden administration went to in order to ignore the pervasive fraud in our immigration system are staggering. Today, under the Trump administration, @USCIS is proud to deploy dedicated special agents to specifically investigate, expose, & eliminate this fraud.

The Biden administration knew exactly what they were doing when they opened the floodgates, let everyone come in, and reduced our standards of screening and vetting to the point they were meaningless. Under @POTUS and @SecMullinDHS, we’re correcting that for the American people.

Under @POTUS & @SecMullinDHS, @USCIS is making sure only those who meet all requirements & pose no threat to national security are granted Green Cards & citizenship. These benefits are an honor & privilege, & we’re making sure they go only to those who truly qualify.

We’re cleaning up after the Biden admin, where criminals got an open door into the US through our legal immigration system. We’re reviewing past immigration determinations & correcting them as necessary. The shutdown of @DHSgov undermines that work & puts all Americans at risk.

Fraud permeates our entire immigration system. Our new @USCIS special agents will ensure there are consequences for this type of fraud. No one is entitled to immigration benefits & naturalization. Immigration to the U.S. is an honor & we will make sure it’s done correctly.

At USCIS, we’ve declared full-scale war on immigration fraud. We’re going back and revetting cases for people who were granted green cards and other benefits during the Biden administration—when vetting was lax. There's rigorous vetting now, and we're reopening these old cases.

Our primary mission is to keep Americans safe. Despite challenges from radical, activist judges, we remain committed to protecting this country. Keeping America safe is our charge—and we will do it unapologetically.

Our message is clear: If you hope to become a lawful resident or American citizen, you must show that you can take care of yourself. There is no reason to admit aliens to the U.S. who would unfairly burden American taxpayers.

Thanks to @DanNewsManBall for having me on to highlight the advanced measures @USCIS is taking under @SecMullinDHS’ and @POTUS' leadership to combat immigration fraud.  Unlike under the previous administration, fraud is not something we’re going to ignore.

"Ultimately, my charge at @USCIS is to make sure that we are not cutting corners." "At the end of the day, screening and vetting will be the primary focus of what we’re doing."

The facts speak for themselves. Proud to work with our partners at @DHSgov to keep Americans safe.
A lot of noise out there, but the facts don’t change: a unified, government-wide effort ended catch and release. For over 11 months, USBP has not released a single illegal alien arrested at entry. BP stations are nearly empty. The results speak for themselves.

Welcome @SecMullinDHS! Your commitment to public service and strong leadership will be invaluable as we work together to uphold the integrity of our immigration system and strengthen our nation’s security. Looking forward to what we’ll accomplish together.
Welcome @SecMullinDHS! Under the leadership of @POTUS Trump and Secretary Mullin, DHS is committed to protecting our homeland. We are securing our borders, removing dangerous criminal illegal aliens, preventing cybersecurity and terror attacks, and helping Americans in the face of natural disasters. MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN.
