"Long before he retook office, we knew Donald Trump's war against immigrants would never be limited to his sadistic obsession with certain undocumented people. Secretary Rubio's recent announcement that immigrant visas for 75 countries, most of which are majority populated by persons of color, is just another chapter in the Trump administration's long crusade of xenophobic cruelty against the most vulnerable people in the world,"
"Time and time again, this White House tries to masquerade its prejudices as policy and pretend that its actions are in the legitimate interests of Americans' needs - as if an administration that slashes public benefit assistance at every opportunity truly cares about the hunger and economic stability of the American people, as if an administration that habitually breaks the law to inflict maximum harm on our immigrant neighbors could ever have a motive centered in anything but nationalist hysteria,"
The Trump administration announced a sudden freeze of immigrant visas for 75 nations, effective Jan. 31, disrupting legal immigration pathways. Many of the affected countries are majority populated by persons of color, including several Caribbean nations. Caribbean elected officials condemned the policy as xenophobic and harmful to vulnerable populations. U.S. Rep. Yvette D. Clarke described the freeze as part of a prolonged crusade of cruelty and accused the administration of disguising prejudice as policy while undermining public benefits for Americans. Clarke emphasized shared immigrant heritage with Secretary Rubio and called the action a betrayal of immigrant communities and his own heritage.
