The Trump administration has issued new visa restrictions for foreigners and immigrants seeking to visit or live in the United States. Under the latest directive, applicants may be denied a U.S. visa over certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or obesity, and lack of economic resources and assets. The State Department has reportedly directed embassy and consular staff to rigorously vet visa applicants to demonstrate they will not seek any public benefits, including food aid, from the U.S. federal government, saying such people could become a “public charge” and drain U.S. resources. Immigration rights advocates have denounced the measure as “dangerous,” saying it will further curtail the already-limited legal pathways for people to come to the U.S.
