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
Most of the Caribbean islands are not anti-western countries, but they are on the list.

They figured over the 20 year wait, the elders would get old and then move to America for Medicaid, treatments, retirement and free childcare watching.
You are not even eligible for medicare unless you have 5 years of work history. They won't get a pension from social security without 10 years of work history. A 79 year old grandmother cannot just move here and collect all of these government benefits.

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?

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.

It appears as if he has begun revoking refugee status of some refugees. This is terrible.

Not eligible for Medicare (never worked in the US) or Medicaid. When they arrived, they paid for medical insurance out of pocket, but became eligible for, and received, Obamacare subsidies (their insurance premiums doubled within a year of the ACA enactment). Their green cards need to be renewed next year, and I am very concerned renewals will be affected next.

Gaming the system is one of the major reasons why Americans are fed up with unchecked immigration.
Other developed nations demand proof that you will be self sustaining before they allow you to immigrate. Their services are for citizens who've paid into the system, not for freeloaders.
