US to propose some visa applicants post bond of up to $15,000Year-long pilot programme to target visitors from nations most likely to stay in US beyond authorisationThe US will propose some tourist and business visa applicants post a bond of up to $15,000 as part of an effort to clamp down on visitors who overstay their visas, the government said on Monday.The Department of State said the year-long pilot programme would begin on August 20 and would target individuals from countries with high visa overstay rates. The move marks a further expansion of the Trump administration’s anti-immigration policies, which were a cornerstone of the president’s campaign platform.The government notice said those who could be subject to the programme included: “nationals of countries identified by the department as having high visa overstay rates, where screening and vetting information is deemed deficient, or offering citizenship by investment, if the alien obtained citizenship with no residency requirement”.Consular officers will have three options for bond amounts — $5,000, $10,000, and $15,000 — but will be expected to set the bond amount at $10,000.In June, Trump banned citizens of 12 countries from entering the US, in an action that evoked the “Muslim ban” he implemented in his first term. The list of countries that fall under the visa programme will be published on the State Department’s website, and may be amended while the pilot takes place. Trump’s first administration established a six-month visa bond pilot programme in 2020, but it was not rolled out because of the global reduction in travel during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the state department.The new programme was a response to an executive order Trump signed on the day he re-entered office in January, titled “Protecting the American People Against Invasion”, the department said.The order directs the secretary of the treasury, alongside the secretaries of state and homeland security, to “establish a system to facilitate the administration of all bonds” under the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The state department described the programme as a “tool of diplomacy”, adding that it was “intended to encourage foreign governments to take immediate action to reduce the overstay rates of their nationals when travelling to the United States for temporary visits”.

Trump’s sons launch investment vehicle to target a US manufacturerBlank cheque firm will look for companies able to benefit from federal tax credits or contracts Donald Trump’s elder sons have in recent months become actively involved in several publicly listed companies that stand to benefit from the president’s actions © Pool/ABACA via Reuters ConnectEric Trump and Donald Trump Jr are backing a new blank cheque investment vehicle targeting US manufacturers and looking to benefit from government spending.The launch of New America Acquisition I Corp marks the latest Trump family foray into public markets. The vehicle will seek to buy a US company that plays “a meaningful role in revitalising domestic manufacturing, expanding innovation ecosystems, and strengthening critical supply chains”, the group said on Monday.The vehicle’s Securities and Exchange Commission filing said it would target a company “well-positioned to benefit from federal or state-level incentives, such as grants, tax credits, government contracts or preferential procurement programs” and where “the US government has an identifiable economic or security interest”.A person close to the Spac, which aims to raise $300mn in an offering on the New York Stock Exchange, did not rule out a merger with a crypto group, however.The target company “could be in crypto . . . but it’s more likely to be something in data centres, drones, something bricks and mortar. An investment in a great American company”, the person said.Trump Jr and Eric Trump own 2mn and 3mn founder shares in New America respectively, and have taken positions on the board of the Florida-incorporated vehicle’s advisory board, filings show.Donald Trump’s sons have in recent months become actively involved in several private and publicly listed companies that stand to benefit from the president’s embrace of digital assets and attempts to revitalise US manufacturing and the so-called patriotic economy.Trump Jr has backed weapons retailer GrabAGun — shares in which have tumbled 44 per cent since it listed through a Spac merger in mid-July — as well as cryptocurrency miner American Bitcoin, where Eric Trump is chief strategy officer.New America’s offering will be underwritten by two firms: Dominari Securities, which is headquartered in Trump Tower and counts Eric Trump and Trump Jr on its advisory board, and D Boral Capital, a New York-based boutique investment bank that helped list the president’s media company Trump Media & Technology Group via a Spac in 2022.Dominari’s chief executive Kyle Wool is also a member of New America’s advisory board.The Financial Times reported in April that shares in Dominari Holdings, which owns Dominari Securities, rose by 580 per cent in the six weeks before its February 11 filing revealing that the president’s sons had joined its advisory board.

No vais a derribar nada. Las nuevas generaciones en vez de en pisos vivirán en habitaciones. Ha empezado ya la racha. Todo en negro, evidentemente.Y ahora preparaos para lo siguiente. Privatizar y seguro de jubilación con quiebra incluida al final del proceso. No penséis que las élites extractivas se chupan el dedo.
Pues, ya que @el malo saca el tema… un ensayo no, pero una novelita yo sí que me animo. Al menos lo quiero intentar.De hecho hará unas tres semanas que empecé a escribir sobre una idea, y ya tengo un posible título y unas cuantas páginas con el planteamiento y personajes.Y también animo a @tomasjos para que haga un ensayo potente. Claro que sí.Algunos personajes ya los tengo medio dibujados también… aunque la idea no es hacer una novela ilustrada, ni un cómic, pero está bien visualizar un poco las escenas. Una cosa lleva a la otra y un personaje o un detalle añadido en el dibujo puede ser que después se incorpore al relato si conviene.En fin… a ver qué sale. Es la primera vez que escribo pero me está gustando. No uso la IA para escribir, que sería lo fácil, pero sí como asistente para ciertas cosas, no muchas.La verdad es que yo me enganché a este foro/blog/chat por el estilo de la escritura de PPCC más que nada, (y de muchos otros, obviamente), no tanto por las teorías que se planteaban. Y no pude aportar gran cosa porque tampoco me daba el nivel. Como muchos de los que leemos aquí estoy para aprender. Con el tiempo me animé a meter algún dibujo como para tratar de sintetizar algunas ideas con imágenes que es lo que le podría faltar al blog, pero sin más ambición que aportar un punto visual distendido.Pues eso. Ya si quieren voy subiendo lo que escriba más adelante, o abro un hilo aparte para no ensuciar el debate serio ni mezclar la ficción con la información. Saludos a todos.
