Court rules against Trump’s immigration policy
Trump made a request to deny entry to immigrants without health insurance
President Trump continues to try to reduce immigration in every possible way and ensures that the majority of immigrants use the country’s public benefits but do not give anything in return.
The current government issued an order back in October, 2019, stating that if an immigrants do not have health insurance or financial solvency to pay for medical expenses in the US, they cannot enter the country and their application for residence must be denied.
This presidential order addressed two types of request:
- Form I-30: Family petition for legal permanent residence. If you need family immigration information, click here.
- Form I-40: Labor application for specialized foreign workers. If you need business immigration information, click here.
The purpose of Trump’s petition is to prevent immigrants from financially burdening the health system.
The president also ensures that this measure encourages immigrants who wish to apply for residence to prepare adequately and be able to contribute financially to the country.
Court rules against this petition
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled against this presidential order and temporarily suspended the petition.
The judges who voted against this petition argue that this policy is arbitrary and could affect more than half of immigrants applying for residence in the US.
They also declare that immigrants cannot be denied entry to the country just because of local economic concerns.
The US has always been characterized for welcoming those who need it most and protecting vulnerable international communities.
The Government’s reaction
Trump’s administration has not given any response regarding the denial of the presidential order.
However, it is important to remember that in 2018 the court ruled in favor of the president, allowing him to implement methods to reduce immigration in the country.
Therefore, President Trump most likely wants to take this case to the US Supreme Court.
For now, this official petition is suspended and all immigrants have the right to apply to permanent residence even if they do not have health insurance.
Use the time wisely!
We are in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic and the borders of the US remain closed due to the health crisis.
However, the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) continues to receive applications virtually.
It is the best time for you to seek specialized help and submit your application for permanent residence or any other type of permit.
The fact that immigrants do not need to have health insurance nor demonstrate financial solvency to enter and reside in the US is a very hopeful news.
All immigrant communities that want to start a new life and build a better future for their families have more opportunities to achieve their dreams in the North of the American continent now.
It is important for you to get the right advice and find reliable help to avoid possible rejection by the US government.
