I. Introducción

Estados Unidos comenzó 2026 con un cambio importante en su política migratoria. El 14 de enero de 2026, el Departamento de Estado de EE. UU. publicó una actualización amplia sobre el procesamiento de visas de inmigrante. La actualización apunta a nacionales de países considerados de "alto riesgo de uso de beneficios públicos".

El presidente Trump espera que los inmigrantes sean financieramente autosuficientes. Como resultado, los inmigrantes no deberían representar una carga financiera para los contribuyentes estadounidenses.
