New information has emerged about the possibility of tightening migration policy in the US. According to the Washington Post, the Trump administration has prepared an official directive to use diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and obesity as grounds for visa denial.
According to the source, the State Department approves the idea of restricting visas for pensioners, elderly parents, or persons caring for disabled relatives.
Officials explain this decision by the high cost of medical services and care for such individuals. They emphasize that such migrants arriving in the US place an additional burden on the state budget.
However, journalists and analysts see this movement in a different light. In their opinion, this approach is the next step towards further reducing the influx of migrants, which means that the Trump administration will tighten its overall migration policy.
Although the decision has not yet officially entered into force, discussions suggest that new restrictions may appear for migrants in the US.
