State Department don talk say dem go scrutinize the entire process again, as dem wan make sure say nobody go come chop the Americans benefits without work. Dem dey target people wey fit rely on public benefits like welfare, cash assistance, food stamps, and all those things wey dem dey use collect. Na so e be!
For Minnesota, naija no dey side at all, as dem don catch some people wey dey involve for serious fraud matter. Dem don call am a childcare fraud scandal wey even involve big names. Wetin we go call this one? Na jam jam for them!
Tommy Piggott, wey be State Department spokesperson don yarn say dem go use their power to make sure say immigrants wey dey likely turn to public charge no go enter America. This new policy fit cause wahala for many people wey no get the right resources to back their immigration dreams.
The list of countries wey don dey affected heavy! E get countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and plenty others. Na really anything fit happen if you dey plan to travel come America. The way wey dem dey look citizens from these countries now, e be like dem don label us as ‘troublemakers’.
Dem don also talk say exceptions for this pause go dey very limited, so e no go easy for people wey fit still have hope. If you fit clear all these public charge checks, then maybe you go fit get small chance to try your luck.
