By Sir Ron Sanders<\/p>

(The writer is Ambassador of Antigua and Barbuda to the United States and the Organisation of American States.\u00a0 He is also a Senior Fellow at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies at the University of London and at Massey College in the University of Toronto.\u00a0 The views expressed are entirely his own)<\/i><\/p>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s new rule on immigration and nationality, published on Monday, August 12, is not different from the rules applied by Caribbean countries.\u00a0\u00a0 It seeks to prohibit persons from migrating to the U.S. if they would become a charge upon the State, and it denies qualification for permanent residence status of such persons who are in the U.S. and who are reliant on Medicaid (government-provided health insurance), housing, food or other forms of public assistance.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

Similarly, Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries deny entry to foreigners, including nationals of other CARICOM countries if immigration officers have reason to believe that they could be a charge on the State\u2019s resources.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The reason that President Trump offers for this new rule matches that proffered by CARICOM governments. First, he wants immigrants to the country to be able to bring value, and second, he does not want U.S. citizens to bear the cost of providing health, education and other aspects of social welfare to new arrivals.\u00a0 The new immigration rules will take effect from October 15.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, while the implementation of the rule is new, it has actually been a provision of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act which, at Title 8- Aliens and Nationality, Chapter 12- Immigration and Nationality, Subchapter 11 \u2013 Immigration, says in general: \u201cAny alien who, in the opinion of the consular officer at the time of application for a visa, or in the opinion of the Attorney General at the time of application for admission or adjustment of status, is likely at any time to become a public charge is inadmissible\u201d.\u00a0 More specifically, it states: \u201cIn determining whether an alien is inadmissible under this paragraph, the consular officer or the Attorney General shall at a minimum consider the alien’s- (I) age; (II) health; (III) family status; (IV) assets, resources, and financial status; and (V) education and skills\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Consequences will arise for Caribbean countries and others from President Trump\u2019s decision to enforce this long dormant inadmissibility clause in the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act.\u00a0 For a hundred years, people from the Caribbean and Central America have sought and received entry to the U.S., qualifying for permanent residence and citizenship.\u00a0\u00a0 The migration of such persons has eased the pressure on Caribbean governments to provide direct employment and deliver goods and services to their citizens, as well as to create an environment for investment and economic growth and development.<\/p>\n

Now, with the U.S. being cut-off for migration from October 15, except for the highly skilled and better-off, the strain on Caribbean governments will intensify, particularly as the opportunity for emigration to countries such as the United Kingdom and Canada have long since been restricted.\u00a0\u00a0 For instance, the U.K. introduced its immigration law, depriving Commonwealth Caribbean citizens (except, recently, nationals of its remaining colonies) since 1962.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

At times of economic decline and natural disasters in the Caribbean, people have moved to the U.S. mainland or its Caribbean territories, the U.S. Virgin Islands in order to work and keep themselves and their families.\u00a0 Some have done so legally; others not.\u00a0 Now, they will be judged by the same criteria \u2013 possibility of becoming a charge upon the state; assets; financial status; education and skills.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Also affected will be women who travel to the U.S. to deliver babies who, because of their birth on U.S. soil, would become U.S. citizens.\u00a0 In some cases, some of these women have utilized State resources for medical attention associated with the delivery of their babies.\u00a0 They, too, will be subject to the tests that the new rule now implements.<\/p>\n

In this connection, the flow of migrants from the Caribbean to the U.S. will decrease to a trickle, exacerbating the difficult circumstances many Caribbean governments already confront in dealing with growing populations and insufficient economic space to provide employment and to deliver expected services.<\/p>\n

President Trump\u2019s decision, which he is entitled to make in the interest of his country as he sees it, has come at a time when most Caribbean countries are severely challenged; many of them have high debts, the repayment of which leaves them little space for spending on social welfare.\u00a0 They also lack enough capital to invest in job-producing projects, and the rules of the international financial institutions and donor governments deny them access to concessional financing.<\/p>\n

Guyana is the present exception to this generally valid description of CARICOM countries.\u00a0 Its significant oil and gas resources, scheduled for production in early 2020, if managed properly, could transform its economic fortunes.\u00a0\u00a0 Bloomberg reckons that, \u201cthis tiny nation on the north coast of South America is about to become the world\u2019s newest petrostate\u2014and potentially the richest\u201d.\u00a0 Should substantial sums of the oil revenues flow into the Guyana government treasury, allowing spending on infrastructural and productive projects, not only will there be reverse migration by Guyanese, but opportunities could open for nationals of other CARICOM countries.<\/p>\n

The Guyana possibility apart, President Trump\u2019s new immigration rules should cause all Caribbean governments to consider how they cope with an increased population resulting from greatly restricted emigration.\u00a0 Many of the governments should review their immigration policies, adhering to a policy of employment for nationals first and limiting movement into their countries to needed skills and to financial resources that migrants bring.\u00a0 Even the present categories of workers that are allowed free movement within CARICOM should be reviewed considering current developments.<\/p>\n

The proposal here is not a knee-jerk reaction.\u00a0 Rather, it is a response to a difficult situation that has been gathering steam for some time and which is fast coming to a head.\u00a0 CARICOM countries should collectively address the issue and determine how best they could jointly deal with it.<\/p>\n
