Rubio: US to revoke all visas for South Sudanese after country fails to accept deported nationals
|
[IsraelTimes] Washington is revoking all visas for South Sudan
 ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
ese passport holders and blocking new arrivals, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio
...The diminutive 13-year-old Republican U.S. Senator from Florida, Secretary of State in the second Trump administration...
says, complaining that the African nation is not accepting its nationals expelled from the United States.
”We don’t want ‘em — we have troubles enough of our own. Drop ‘em in the sea for all we care.” The State Department "is taking actions to revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders and prevent further issuance to prevent entry," Rubio says in a statement.
It is the first such measure singling out all passport holders from a particular country since Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
returned to the White House on January 20, having campaigned on an anti-immigration platform.
Rubio accuses the transitional government in Juba of "taking advantage of the United States," saying that "every country must accept the return of its citizens in a timely manner when another country... seeks to remove them."
Washington "will be prepared to review these actions when South Sudan is in full cooperation," Rubio adds.
The world’s newest country and also one of the poorest, South Sudan is currently prey to tensions between politicians. Some observers fear a renewal of the civil war that killed 400,000 people between 2013 and 2018.
South Sudanese nationals had been granted "temporary protected status" (TPS) by the administration of Trump’s predecessor Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences...
, with the designation set to expire on May 3, 2025.
The United States grants TPS, which shields people against deportation, to foreign citizens who cannot safely return home because of war, natural disasters or other "extraordinary" conditions.
There were about 133 South Sudanese in the United States under the TPS program, with another 140 eligible to apply, the Department of Homeland Security said in September 2023.
