An integrated coalition for as many as 200 organizations, individuals and companies asking for the governing body of Joe Biden to refuse to issue visas to a citizen of a country train coronavirus pandemic.
The restrictions were made by the middle of five Proclamations signed by Donald Trump the past year and that congelan the issue of visas to avoid the propagation of covid-19.
The American Association of Immigration Attorneys (AILA), one of the petitioners, said that if the President can, using its executive faculties, suspend entry into the country of citizenship, the order does not require the Department of State to issue a visa, taking into account the huge number of people who will be waiting for a long time to travel and enter the United States.
Trump’s proclamations “aggravate the problem of demons”, said Jesse Bless, director of federal litigation at AILA.
La querella
La demand was presented against the Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. The querella indicates that, as far as the department is concerned, “it has been illegally denied to issue visa debits to temporary bans that restrict the entry of persons who are present in certain countries”.
On January 28, although they were unable to seize control of the White House, Biden validated Trump’s statements by means of another statement ( 10143) which also suspends the entry of foreign residents of the zones or cities that present risks of transmitting covid-19.
“The tribunals repeatedly told the State Department that they could not adopt a visa policy when the President suspended the entry of persons by Proclamation,” Bless said. “The department’s phrase in this case is particularly appealing to people who have obtained a visa that can enter into the country when it appears in a list that appears on the list of prohibitions and will be suspended for 14 days”.
Seën dijo adds that lamentably, the office “has not been able to consider the pre-occupations planted by AILA and the rest of the applicants”. And the demand is precisely “it is negative to recognize the illegality of the policy of not issuing visas”.
A pesar de fallos adversos
The petitioners further state that if he had been arrested repeatedly by the courts, “the State Department has refused to make the correct decision and adjudicate all visas”. And he expressed confidence that the juicio “before the governor would last for miles of people”, between those married and married permanent residents and citizens of the state.
Jeff Joseph, one of the petitioners’ advocates, said that “the execution of the Order, first by the Trump administration and now by the Biden Administration,” he has maintained separate families and prevented employers from hiring foreign talent. “
“It is a matter of course to ensure that the visa system is based on an illegal abuse of authority,” he said.
At the request, the coalition indicates that, once again, it has declared the pandemic, “now there are many forms to deal with the crisis of covid-19, and the Department of State has the resources to make something more creative and reasonable that simply close the consulates ”.
“Unfortunately, as consuls as never to issue visas based on these proclamations, retreats have increased to historic levels. While a tribunal is intervening, the hopefuls will have years before the opportunity to enter the United States, ”he said.
The Department of State says it will not comment on the request. The White House also responded to the issue.
The Latin American country is included in the list of countries affected by visa restrictions in Brazil, which has been converted into the epicenter of the pandemic and originated in one of the most covert-19 variants of the Great Britain.
The Order of Biden
La Proclamation 10143 signed by Biden on February 28th signaled that the federal governor “must act swiftly and aggressively to combat coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19)” and that the national emergence “will continue to represent a grave threat to our health and safety”.
In addition to agreeing with scientific data and information from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and data on various variants of the virus that appeared in various countries, the federal authorities “re-examined its policies on international travel”.
Biden said that while continuing to monitor public health mediations, “and by determining the CDC’s, working in strict coordination with the Department of National Security (DHS), it has determined that the United States should stop them enters the country ”as immigrants or as immigrants who are physically present within the Schengen Area, the United Kingdom (excluding the territories of the Ultramar Fuera of Europe), the Republic. Republic of Brazil and the Republic of South Africa during the period of 14 days prior to its entry or intention to enter the United States.
The petitioners insist that the order violates the law and that miles of affected citizens have the right to obtain a visa and, before traveling to the United States, can make quarantines in countries not included in the list of prohibitions.
“The attacks generated by these giants are proclaimed,” said Jaime Barrón, a immigration advocate who owns Dallas (Texas).
“We will reduce the prohibition on detaining access to the United States for legal immigration, suspend the transfer of work visas, commercial intercourse, transfers of business directors, newcomers, tourists, fathers and husbands that the family approves of. “, apuntó.
“The pandemic and the media adopted by the goblins to combat the trastocar tod all the style of life stadium”, indicates Barrón.
