…#Immigration policy experts say the latest guidance could reduce the number of #immigrant & non-immigrant #visas granted & could disproportionately affect some groups of foreigners seeking access to the #US, such as older adults & people with low incomes.

The cable was sent from #State Dept headquarters to every US Embassy & Consulate around the world.

The guidance, issued last week in a cable from the #State Dept & obtained by The AP, directs embassy & consular ofcls to comprehensively & thoroughly vet #visa applicants to demonstrate that they will not need to rely on public benefits from the govt any time after their admission in the #US. Experts say it could further limit who gets to enter the country at a time when the #Trump admin is already tightening those rules.

Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.
Lawlessness dressed up as law.

" The ‘dual state’ framework explains how a dictator can exercise power while life appears mostly ordinary.

The court is adjusting the law to make place for arbitrary power.

In a dual state, the high “court’s role is in creating affordances within the law that operate as off switches for the law…

This is precisely why the dual state is so dangerous: It allows the would-be autocrat to consolidate power under the cloak of democracy and norms. "
