Pinakawalan ang Pilipinas sa pag-suspinde ng US sa migranteng visa

Suspending ang Estados Unidos ng pagproseso ng migranteng visa para sa mamamayan ng 75 bansa simula Enero 21, ngunit hindi kasama ang Pilipinas. Kinumpirma ng Philippine Ambassador Jose Manuel Romualdez na hindi kasama ang mga Pilipino sa hakbang na ito. Layunin ng patakaran na muling suriin ang pagsusuri sa ilalim ng public charge rule.

Inihayag ng US State Department ang pagtigil sa aplikasyon ng migranteng visa mula sa 75 bansa, kabilang ang Afghanistan, Iran, Russia, at Somalia, simula Enero 21. Ito ay bahagi ng mas malawak na immigration bans sa ilalim ng ikalawang termino ni Trump na nakakaapekto sa halos 40 bansa. Gayunpaman, sinabi ni Ambassador Jose Manuel Romualdez sa Philstar.com noong Enero 15 na 'hindi kasama ang mga Pilipino.'

Ayon sa pahayag ng State Department, ang mga migrante mula sa mga bansang ito ay 'kumukuha ng welfare mula sa mga Amerikano sa hindi katanggap-tanggap na rate.' Ang suspensyon ay limitado lamang sa migranteng visa para sa permanenteng residency, hindi sa turista o business visa. Mananatiling epektibo ito hanggang makatiyak ang US na hindi magiging 'burden' ang mga bagong imigrante sa ekonomiya.

Una itong inihayag sa isang internal memo na nakuha ng Fox News bago ito pampubliko noong Enero 14. Nag-utos din ito sa mga consular officers na suriin ang lahat ng visa aplikante para sa posibleng paggamit ng public benefits.

Ang Pilipinas ay isa sa pangunahing pinagmulan ng imigrante sa US, na may mahigit 4 milyong Filipino Americans, pangatlong pinakamalaking Asian American group sa California, Hawaii, at Texas. Bagaman hindi kasama sa suspensyon, hindi pa rin ligtas ang mga Pilipino sa immigration crackdown ni Trump. Noong Mayo ng nakaraang taon, inraid ng ICE ang isang grupo ng guro mula sa Pilipinas sa Maui habang sa exchange program para sa kakulangan ng guro sa Hawaii.
