Transcript
00:00The Trump administration is moving to tighten visas for international students, cultural exchange visitors and foreign journalists.
00:09Under a proposed rule, these groups would need to apply to extend their stay instead of relying on more flexible legal status.
00:17For students, that could mean a maximum of just four years in the U.S.
00:24The administration says the change is long overdue.
00:27Noting that foreign students and other visa holders have been able to stay in the U.S. almost indefinitely.
00:34Officials say this could create safety risks, cost taxpayers money and put American citizens at a disadvantage.
00:41The move is part of a broader push by President Donald Trump, who launched an aggressive immigration crackdown after taking office in January.
00:48And it's not just students and journalists who are affected.
00:51Last week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a pause on workers' visas for foreign truck drivers.
00:57Showing the administration's focus on tightening legal entry across the board.
