Immigration has been uncertain for a long time. YCombinator founders have been working on their startups on 3-month visitor visas. Top graduate students can stay in the US for a year, then they need to enter a lottery to be allowed to stay for another few years. Trump changes barely anything.

Trump changes plenty, in the past it was assumed that the USA would honor visa once they were issued, now it turns out not to be the case.

Essentially this is breach of contract.

Yep, Obama held the line on the injustice. However that doesn't mean we shouldn't fix it now.

Congress, hopefully. Call your senators and representatives! There's a Senate bill that needs support.

Totally unrelated to the article, and perhaps a dumb question - How do you get the archive link of a URL?

The resistance is led by Teen Vogue, Badlands National Park, and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
