Venice is definitely a city for one's bucket list

 

The Trump administration has introduced controversial new visa and green card guidelines that could deny entry to immigrants based on certain health conditions. Under the updated policy, immigration officers are now instructed to assess whether applicants with chronic illnesses—such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, or cancer—might become a financial burden on the U.S. healthcare system.

The rules emphasize the need for applicants to demonstrate their ability to cover future medical expenses without relying on public assistance. Critics argue that this move could disproportionately affect low-income individuals and families, while supporters claim it’s a necessary step to protect taxpayer-funded resources.

Immigration advocates and legal experts are already preparing challenges, citing concerns over discrimination and the potential for subjective enforcement. The policy is expected to impact thousands of applicants annually and could reshape the landscape of U.S. immigration for years to come.
