Exclusive: Visa denials to poor Mexicans have skyrocketed under Trump’s State Department
The number of Mexicans refused immigrant visas to the U.S. because they might become dependent on government benefits skyrocketed under President Donald Trump, according to State Department data obtained by POLITICO.
Consular officers approved roughly 534,000 immigrant visas in fiscal year 2018, down from 618,000 two years earlier. Applicants from various other countries — including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Haiti and the Dominican Republic — also saw dramatic increases in denials attributed to the risk that they would consume government benefits.
