The Trump administration has proposed a new rule that would allow it to deny asylum to immigrants who are deemed a public health risk.
The soon-to-be published rule would let the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice to block immigrants from seeking asylum in the U.S. based on "potential international threats from the spread of pandemics," according to a notice announcing it Wednesday.
The rule would apply to immigrants seeking asylum and those seeking "withholding of removal" — a protected immigration status for those who have shown they may well face danger if returned to their home countries.
The determination of whether migrants pose a public health risk would be made at the "credible fear" screening — essentially the first interview of the application process to determine an immigrant has a credible fear of returning to their home country — not in immigration court.

With $26,000,000,000,000 in debt and 13% unemployment, we cannot afford to support outsiders who won’t work, and we cannot afford the competition from those who will work. The country is full, and the cupboard is bare.

Thanks President Trump...
Sounds like a plan,alright, but we still may have a few in “public service” who really need to be sent back to their country of origin & a few others who are not quite in that category, but need to be sent out somewhere as soon as we can figure out what place would be appropriate.
It is going to be worse, several chain stores announced closures over the weekend, these are not high pay jobs, clerks, fast food, etc.
