💨 Abstract
Travelers from Malawi and Zambia may soon need to pay a $15,000 security deposit for U.S. visas under a Trump-era pilot program. This measure aims to reduce visa overstays but is criticized as discriminatory and counterproductive. The policy restricts entry through only three airports and could deter tourism, harming the U.S. economy and global reputation, especially considering Trump's unpopularity abroad.
