White House announces immigrants applying for visas will need to prove they can afford health care within 30 days.

Trump's Visa Ban for Uninsured Immigrants will Cause 'Complete Chaos,' Legal Challenges—Former White House OfficialCritics have argued that President Donald Trump will struggle to implement his new plan to deny visas to immigrants who cannot prove they will be able to afford health care within 30 days of entering the U.S.

The new rule, which comes under effect from November 3, will only apply to those seeking visas and not those who currently reside in the U.S., or to asylum seekers, refugees or children.Trump said the new proclamation is a move to stop immigrants who will"financially burden the United States" by proving that within 30 days they will be covered by approved health insurance or possess the"financial resources to pay for reasonably foreseeable" medical costs.

"While our healthcare system grapples with the challenges caused by uncompensated care, the United States Government is making the problem worse by admitting thousands of aliens who have not demonstrated any ability to pay for their healthcare costs,""Notably, data show that lawful immigrants are about three times more likely than United States citizens to lack health insurance.

I wonder why Fake Newsweek didnt mention that the 'former White House official' worked in the Obama White Housr and is an open borders advocate. FakeNewsMedia

Immigrants must be self sustaining.

This is a great idea. We don't want to pay for their health insurance.

He creates many legal challenges that he is destined to lose.

Most voters approve of President Trump’s temporary halt to refugees and visitors from several Middle Eastern and African countries until the government can do a better job of keeping out individuals who are terrorist threats.

No problem.

God forbid we enforce our borders in literally any way. Itd be chaos I tell you!
