The United States stopped giving visas to people from South Sudan. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the decision on Saturday. Every single visa for South Sudanese citizens was canceled. The government will not give out new visas to people from South Sudan.
Rubio explained that South Sudan has not been cooperating with immigration rules. Countries are supposed to take back their citizens when another country wants to send them home. South Sudan has been breaking these rules for a long time. The government says this behavior will no longer be allowed.
The United States wants South Sudan to start helping with deportation rules. Rubio said the country has been taking advantage of American immigration laws. He believes stopping visas will help protect national security and public safety. The government wants South Sudan to change its approach to handling citizen returns.
The visa ban will stay in place until South Sudan starts working with the United States. Rubio promises to review the decision if the country begins cooperating. The message is clear that South Sudan must follow international rules about taking back its citizens. The United States is serious about making sure countries respect immigration procedures.
