Original Note:
This post is misleading because the 55 million figure refers to the total number of foreigners worldwide who currently hold valid U.S. visas, not the number of people living in the United States on visas. In 2024, 77% of visas issued were for tourist and business purposes. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/08/21/us-visa-vetting-foreigners-immigration-tourism/
