u/Long-Finding-4834

If we are convinced the pause and ban are due to a public charge and that the government wants to do something about it, let's look at what's already in the law and has always been in place: for most new immigrants, whether EB, DV, or other visa holders, there's already a five-year Medicaid restriction."qualified aliens" are generally ineligible for federally funded Medicaid programs for the first five years after receiving their status, with the exception of refugees. But refugees don't go through the consular process. Therefore, even now, no one can access benefits right off the plane.
Then the question arises: if most new immigrants already lack access to basic benefits in their first years, then who should actually be excluded from the bonds? And the answer is obvious: simply eliminate any immigration as much as possible and allow only wealthy people. That's the whole idea.

The issuance of tourist visas for the 50 countries who have to pay to Bond of up to $20,000 has dropped by 85%. That is precisely their ultimate goal. The same applies to immigrant visas. Nobody gonna pay up to 200K just for freeze it for 5 years till citizenship
