Inside the American Embassy

Episode 2

Trump's UK Border

Each day over 800 visa applicants are interviewed and judged as to who can and can't enter the USA. This episode follows consular staff as President Trump's controversial travel ban comes into force: the executive order that halted all refugee admissions and temporarily barred people from seven Muslim-majority countries. At this time of heightened scrutiny, consular staff must sort through Florida's sun-seekers and business people to spot the would-be economic migrants, terrorists, money launderers and former criminals trying to convince the person behind the window that they should be allowed in.
