75 congressmen have written to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Minister Christy Noem to lift the suspension of the immigrant visa process for 75 countries, including Bangladesh and Pakistan. Khabar Ibn News.

The letter issued on Thursday highlighted the victims around the world as a result of the decision of the administration of President Donald Trump.

There, 75 congressmen, including the chair of the Asian Pacific American Caucus, Congresswoman Grace Meng, called for the suspension of the visa process to be lifted.

The letter says that more than 135,000 Asian-American visa holders are unable to return to the United States due to the suspension. “40 percent” of the world’s people are under visa suspension. This involves ignoring this huge population.

It is also said that those who are waiting to come to the United States for family, business, investment, employment reasons, according to the existing rules, are told to “come the right way.” But such treatment of interested parties before entering the United States is unacceptable.

“This amounts to cruel treatment. Because immigrants have submitted all formalities for visas. The ban is preventing those who wish to enter the United States through the legal process.”

On January 21, the United States suspended the process of giving immigrant visas to 75 countries including Bangladesh and Pakistan.

Other countries include Afghanistan, Russia, Iran, Thailand, Brazil, Kuwait, Somalia, Nigeria, Yemen, Iraq.
The US State Department said in an X post on the matter that the State Department will suspend the processing of immigrant visas for 75 countries whose immigrants receive US welfare benefits at an unacceptable rate. The moratorium will remain in effect until the United States can ensure that new immigrants will not share in the wealth of the United States.

The US State Department instructs consular officers to reject visa applications under the ‘public charge’ rule. The ‘public charge’ rule generally provides,Whether a visa applicant can live at his own expense in the United States.

If the US administration believes that the applicant may become dependent on government welfare or other government assistance, the visa will be denied.

In November last year, the US State Department directed all US embassies to strictly implement the ‘public charge’ provision.Trump has been tight-lipped about immigration in the US since his second term in office. Taking different steps one after the other. As part of this, it decided to stop issuing visas on a large scale. Many people have claimed that President Trump is taking such extremely unfair steps out of revenge. They also alleged that President Trump is leading the world to destruction by pursuing politics of revenge. America is a country of immigrants. They are simple. No one else will do the work they do. They work to keep America beautiful and democratic and good. Immigrants. Many like to complain.
