Immigration Requirements
Which of the following mandates did the Biden administration impose on people who wanted to legally immigrate to the United States?
Correct Answer
The Biden administration mandated Covid-19 vaccination in order to legally immigrate to the United States, and the Trump administration rescinded that dictate on his second day in office. Despite a federal law banning the immigration of people with a "communicable disease of public health significance," people with HIV are allowed to immigrate under an Obama-era regulation that decrees HIV is not a "communicable disease of public health significance." Despite a federal law banning the immigration of people "likely at any time to become a public charge" or burden on taxpayers, people who receive welfare benefits like Food Stamps, Medicaid, housing, and utility assistance were allowed to immigrate under Biden administration guidelines that ignored these forms of welfare when determining if people are a burden on taxpayers.
