Immigration Freeze is Spreading The Virus

“Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Haiti have very limited capacity for testing, surveillance, and treatment and a limited supply of medical equipment such as ventilators,” Sergio Martín, general coordinator for the nonprofit Doctors Without Borders in Mexico, said in a statement. “A major outbreak of Covid-19 could be catastrophic.”

In turn, the United States’ immigration policy has been responsible for exporting COVID-19 abroad.

In doing so, they are not only exporting COVID-19 but exporting it to those who –also due to U.S. immigration policy– cannot escape it. Asylum seekers are being denied and are being denied in the long term.

With borders closed, asylum being denied, visas being denied, and hearings being postponed, the COVID crisis has had a large impact on the state of immigration. Immobility is the characteristic of this state for the time being.
