The changes in immigration policies.

In the EU, North America, Australasia and elsewhere, formerly more liberally oriented such policies are clearly becoming more restrictive. This is occurring with the ascendancy of right wing political parties. The backlash has occurred and the fixes are in. Fences are up, and agents are turning people back. A Trump administration will be much more open to input and advice from loyal patriotic citizens on the character and potential dangerousness of foreigners seeking visas to visit, and perhaps to live and work among citizens. This has precedent, in the judicial branch for example, with friends of the court briefs. The relative anonymity and permanency of musings on the internet provide all of us and our governments with potentially helpful information on persons who might better not be granted visas, based on potential terrorist connections/sensibilities, or even overt mental instability. Are we entering a regretable new age of Big Brother xenophobia, or is this just a natural protective and patriotic response to possible malefaction?

No need to wait for a Trump win. A friend in government informs that the USA already has a program to provide helpful input on potentially unsuitable visa applicants. I'm checking onto similar programs elsewhere.

Thanks, Leony. I'm thinking of hanging up all the other many caps, and writing both fiction, and so called creative non-fiction (formerly called literary journalism) as my primary work. But sloth, fears, and fun distractions ain't helping in the transition. I'm also noticing that being older seems to have various effects, perhaps both good and not so good. And not having to worry about my next meal enters into the mix. R.
