TT đ¨ âCHECK YOUR PRIVILEGEâ â Karoline Leavitt Just Put Every Foreign National on BLAST: âA Visa Is a PRIVILEGE, Not a Right⌠And Weâre Revoking Them FASTâ đąđşđ¸She stared straight into the camera and dropped the hammer: âIf your presence is deemed contrary to Americaâs interests⌠youâre GONE.âPhones in embassies are melting, student groups panicking, and insiders say the first wave of cancellations is already hitting inboxes.


White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt issued a stark warning on December 1, 2025, declaring U.S. visas a “privilege, not a right,” and vowing swift revocation for anyone “deemed contrary to our country’s foreign national interests” under President Trump’s immigration crackdown. During a briefing, Leavitt emphasized the State Department’s authority amid refugee vetting executive orders, citing Minnesota’s $250M Feeding Our Future fraudâ86 charged, 78 Somaliâas proof of systemic abuse. “Coming here is a privilege… if you abuse it, disrespect our laws, culture, you’re not welcome,” she stated to Fox News, pausing asylum adjudications for vetting.ââ
Leavitt’s rhetoric ties to Trump’s September H-1B restrictions and March Hamas supporter visa revocations, signaling “America First” enforcement post-reelection. She defended transparency demands on sending nations, previewing State reports on deficient screening like Afghanistan/Syria.â
Briefing Highlights and Policy Context

Leavitt fielded queries on Trump’s refugee vetting EO, affirming Secretary Rubio’s review power: “Unprecedented action” includes pauses and revocations for non-alignment. Citing DC attacks and fraud, she argued national security trumps “political correctness.” Critics like CAIR decried “xenophobia”; supporters praised clarity amid 11M encounters.ââ
Trump’s team secured borders “in record time,” per Leavitt, with H.R.5722 Sharia bans and TPS ends amplifying scrutiny.â
Backlash and Support Divide Nation

Social media split: #CheckYourPrivilege trended with 3M postsâconservatives cheering “finally”; liberals slamming “dehumanizing.” Leavitt’s youth (28) drew “token” jabs, but GOP hailed her as Trump’s voice.â
Immigrant advocates fear profiling; polls show 62% GOP back revocations.â
Immigration Overhaul Implications
Leavitt’s notice previews mass actions: H-1B fees, bans for high-risk nations. Amid Venezuela ops, it tests loyaltyârefugees “exploit generosity.” Legal challenges loom, but admin eyes midterms boost.â
This “privilege” doctrine reshapes discourseâentry conditional on alignment.
