The US State Department has announced a freeze on immigrant visa processing for 75 countries, including Somalia, Haiti, Iran, and Eritrea, due to concerns about migrants taking welfare resources. President Trump’s administration aims to prevent new immigrants from burdening American taxpayers and has been enforcing strict immigration policies, leading to record visa revocations and deportations. The freeze will impact a significant number of legal immigrants, with countries like Brazil, Egypt, Thailand, Nigeria, Iraq, and Yemen also affected. This move adds to the administration’s increasing restrictions on immigration, affecting a total of 90 countries and predominantly targeting African nations.
