00:00America just made it harder for immigrants to work.
00:03And yes, Kenyans are on the list.
00:05Trump's administration has dropped a major immigration bombshell.
00:08A new rule will end the automatic extension of work permits for many foreigners living in the U.S.
00:14This means thousands of immigrants, including Kenyans,
00:17will now face delays or even job losses if they don't act fast.
00:21The Department of Homeland Security says it's all about security.
00:25No more easy extensions without thorough screening.
00:27Starting October 3, 2025, if you apply to renew your work permit, it won't be automatically extended.
00:35You'll need to apply up to 180 days early to avoid losing your job.
00:39There are a few exceptions, like temporary protected status, but most immigrants will feel the pressure.
00:45According to a Kenyan living in the U.S., Indians will be hit the hardest, but Kenyans aren't in the clear either.
00:51The message is loud and clear.
00:53Working in America is now a privilege, not a right.
00:55And in a separate twist, Trump removed Mali from the visa bond list, but kept Tanzania, Malawi, and others.
