On February 24th, the Trump administration will start implementing new rules for immigrants who are beneficiaries of state aid programmes in the United States.
The new rule will affect the process of obtaining immigration visas or permanent permission to stay in the United States by citizens of small-income foreign countries. Last month this rule got green light from the U.S. Supreme Court.
New regulations give immigration officials authority to refuse money aid applications or other forms of assistance from the United States.
“Those who have the most wealth are less at stake, while those who are less educated, who have large families or small revenues are in danger of being rejected”, said Marg Greenberg of the Institute for Political Migration.
Analyst Greenberg says applicants from poor states with non-white populations are at risk of refusing visas or permanent residence permits, known as green cards.
The “This will have a greater negative impact on the beneficiaries of green card from Mexico, Central America or the Caribbean, compared to Europe, Australia or New Zealand”, he said.
Order supporters don't see it as biased.
It's the neutral rule that applies to people of each race, it's the same for each country. If you're a rich person of a race in one country, you'd better be compared to one person of another race and another”, said Mr. Howell from the Heritage Foundation.
Fewer visas and permanent residence permits are expected to be approved with the new rule.
According to the Department of National Security, applicants have increased access to immigration visas after showing evidence of financial assets, incomes, private health insurance evidence, employment offers at the United States, or a commitment to financial support from someone outside the United States.
Some view this as an opportunity to save public funds and improve the American job market.
Major American corporations described the regulation as an obstacle for American employers who want to engage foreign talents.
The rule is coming into effect after management and budget office director in Trump administration, Mick Mulvaney, was quoted as saying the US needs legitimate immigrants.
The implementation of order in all American states, except Illinois, begins Monday, which is awaiting a decision by the federal court.
