The Trump administration has prioritized national security, leading to the revocation of 80,000 nonimmigrant visas for various violations since January, according to a State Department official.

Driving under the influence, theft, and assault have emerged as the most common offenses linked to these visa cancellations, stated Tommy Pigott, the State Department’s deputy spokesperson.

“The United States will not tolerate foreigners on visas who break our laws. Being in this country is a privilege, not a right,” Pigott emphasized during an interview on “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” on Friday.
