75 US congressmen against suspension of immigration visas, Kosovo and Albania are on the list

In his letter to Rubio, congressmen describe this decision as “scandalous and discriminated against”, stressing that it affects about 40% of the world's countries and may affect almost half of legal migrants in the United States.

According to them, visa suspension directly hits the family reunification process, visas sponsored by employers, the programme of diversity, as well as religious organisations and small businesses.

This is a scandalous and discriminating decision of your administration, which affects hundreds of thousands of people every year. He was announced not only through a Twitter post but also without offering any detailed information on the way the suspension was suspended,” is said in the Congressman's letter.

They warn that this policy will separate families, hinder the integration of legitimate immigrants and bring negative social and economic consequences to American voters.

The list of affected countries includes countries from Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America, including Albania, Kosovo, northern Macedonia, Montenegro, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Iran, Brazil, Cuba and many other countries.

Congressmen call on the American administration to review the decision and take steps to avoid family separation as well as to preserve the legal opportunities of immigrants to live and work in the US.

Secretary Rubio's decision has prompted numerous reactions in the international communities and the Albanian diaspora, who warn that the suspension of visas will have a direct impact on family reunification and on the economic activities of immigrants. / RTK
