The Trump administration will ban immigrants from Haiti — which the president included in his “s–thole countries” remark — from applying for temporary visas given to low-skilled workers, the Department of Homeland Security said.
The department said it would remove Haiti, Belize and Samoa from a list of more than 80 countries whose residents are eligible for H-2A and H-2B visas, which usually are granted for seasonal workers in agriculture and other industries.
DHS cited “high levels of fraud and abuse” by Haitians and their “high rate of overstaying the terms” of their visas in its decision, announced late Wednesday.
