It already has. I read of a woman stuck in India. She has a job in the US and has not been able to get back home to the US. She could lose her job...

+1.

A relative's wife is in one of those countries. He has never been on welfare. This could actually make him more financially unstable because he has to take care of their children alone if his wife cannot get a visa.

As a recruiter I can tell you that emerging top business incl tech talent across the board are Nigerians.

They are 100% not on welfare lol

And this list is so weird I mean what did Fiji and Bermuda folks do to us?

I see that they can all come and pay to watch the World Cup but then they need to leave. WTH? If they are a threat why be allowed in and if not, why them and not those from S Korea or Taiwan? So Russia is added but not China? Student visas work too I see.

This admin has such psychos!

Absolute crap.

It is very difficult to immigrabt from several of the countries on that list if you are not UMC. Nigerian immigrants are more educated than any other group in America. I don't believe that they are more likely to be on welfare.

3 of my specialist doctors are Nigerian immigrants.

Every single Nigerian I know is either a doctor or lawyer.

Every day more commons sense !!!!

The Trump administration is halting immigrant visa processing for people from 75 countries, including Brazil, Iran, Russia and Somalia, the latest effort by officials to restrict legal immigration pathways.
State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said the indefinite pause aims to limit applicants deemed likely to become a “public charge,” a term for someone who relies on government benefits for their basic needs. The order takes effect Jan. 21, and a full list of the countries on the administration’s list has not been released.

Why did we ever allow “public charge”immigrants????

These countries didn’t offer the requisite bribes.

Most of central and South America is NOT on the list yet have the longest wait times to pull in.

Seems like mostly anti-western countries

The Bahamas? Dominica? Skin color is clearly involved.

This is some list isn't it. Have to lol at it at first glance. Fitting with this admin

Maybe they refused a T hotel or resort at some point once upon a time and this is to "get back at them?"

Geography. Right there next to and near a few other countries that are on the list.

Just like other countries now. Must prove you are healthy, able, solvent, skilled, educated, employable… to get a visa. Regardless of who or what is “pulling”’you in.

Then why call out these countries specifically? Why not just make this a condition for ALL countries?

Why ask this question. Look who is steering
