YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe US State Department will pause issuing immigrant visas for people from 75 countries, targeting foreigners who they say could require public assistance while living in the US.
The move applies only to people seeking to live and work permanently in the US, not tourists or temporary workers, and is expected to hit family-based immigration hardest.
The administration says the move is meant to end "the abuse of America's immigration system by those who would extract wealth from the American people," but critics argue that immigrants use less benefits than US-born Americans.
