As part of the migratory strategy implemented by the current administration of President Donald Trump, the United States Government would be considering banning the entry of citizens from more than 40 countries, regardless of their migratory status.
According to the EFE news agency, which in turn accessed internal information from The New York Times, this measure would include individuals with Cuban and Venezuelan nationality, as well as citizens with passports from various countries in Africa, Europe, and Asia.
As reported, this federal initiative, currently in "draft" status, has classified this group of individuals into three different lists or categories, with the first two being of higher priority.
Which countries won't be able to enter the United States?
The document circulated mentions, in the first instance, a "red list" of countries whose citizens would have a complete prohibition from entering American soil:
- Afghanistan
- Bhutan
- Cuba
- Iran
- Libya
- North Korea
- Somalia
- Sudan
- Syria
- Venezuela
- Yemen
Additionally, a "orange list" of 10 countries has been compiled whose citizens would have restricted access, but not suspended:
- Belarus
- Eritrea
- Haiti
- Laos
- Myanmar
- Pakistan
- Russia
- Sierra Leone
- South Sudan
- Turkmenistan
Likewise, although not detailed, there is also a third list of nationalities who would have more flexible access, but with certain restrictions and stricter security measures upon arrival.
It has also been mentioned that some individuals included in the orange list and in the category with lesser restrictions, such as business travelers with a high purchasing power, may enter after passing an interview. However, this would not apply to those using tourist or immigrant visas.
According to the officials who had access to The New York Times, this document, prepared by the Department of State weeks ago, would include a series of changes and measures before its arrival at the White House.
At this time, no further details have been revealed about these restrictions. Likewise, it is uncertain whether individuals with valid visas would be exempt from the ban.
Prior to this leak, it was reported in previous weeks that the government of Donald Trump revoked the extension of the Temporary Protected Status program (TPS) for Venezuelan migrants in the United States. This measure, which provided protection to around 600 thousand individuals with Venezuelan passports to maintain a legal stay in the country, could lead to the abrupt departure of thousands of individuals of South American origin.
