Tougher U.S. Visa Rules for Harvard-Bound Travelers Spark Controversy

Planning to visit Harvard University? Heads up, visa applications just got a lot tougher. A leaked internal cable reveals that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered all consular missions to apply extra vetting to anyone traveling to Harvard, including students, faculty, speakers, and even tourists. Why?

The government claims Harvard failed to stop “anti-Semitism and violence” on campus. This move, part of a broader immigration and academic crackdown by the Trump administration, could affect thousands of non-immigrant visa seekers.

It even targets applicants with private social media accounts. Is this about national security or political payback? If you’re a Harvard-bound visa applicant, this might be your new reality. What’s your take on this crackdown?
