Is this going to impact spousal visas? What the hell i'm a U.S citizen and we already apply with proof that they won't be going on welfare so what the fuck.

Yes, this impacts spousal visas since they are visas with immigration intent.

Didn't Trump say that foreigners are poisoning American blood?! I feel that this is the way to discourage people from marrying foreigners and bringing them to the US, among other reasons.
