The Trump administration’s attempts to implement longstanding policy goals on immigration in the name of fighting the coronavirus pandemic has helped spread the deadly virus to Central America, according to a new report from an international refugee organization provided to The Daily Beast. Among the
that the president intended to sign an executive order “extending and expanding” restrictions on both certain visas and the eligibility of asylum seekers to obtain work permits.
“Putting up a ‘not welcome’ sign for engineers, executives, IT experts, doctors, nurses and other workers won’t help our country, it will hold us back,” said Thomas J. Donohue, CEO of the U.S Chamber of Commerce. “We have long advocated for a rational immigration system that meets the needs of our economy and reflects the values of our country. Today’s proclamation serves neither of those interests.
“Deportations and returns carried out in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic compound these challenges and contribute to the spread of the virus,” write Schacher and Schmidtke, noting that asylum seekers—being almost definitionally poor and lacking in access to medical assistance—are among the most likely to suffer complications from COVID-19 infection.
