Matt Maddock, a public figure and frequent social media commentator, posted several statements on his Twitter account on April 3, 2026. The posts touched on issues related to visa overstays in the United States and made references to upcoming events.
In one of his posts at 8:42 p.m. UTC, Maddock wrote, “We’re just getting warmed up.” Later that evening at 8:45 p.m. UTC, he claimed, “400-800 thousand foreign scammers overstay their visas every year in the USA”. At 11:54 p.m. UTC, Maddock added another message encouraging religious observance: “You should go to church Sunday. Something special will happen.”
Visa overstays have been a recurring topic in U.S. immigration debates. According to data from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), hundreds of thousands of individuals each year remain in the country beyond their authorized period after entering legally with temporary visas; however, not all are classified as “scammers,” and estimates vary depending on methodology and reporting period.
Maddock’s comments reflect ongoing concerns among some policymakers and commentators regarding border security and immigration enforcement.
