US visa sanctions hit Cambodians

[geovalin]

The United States will impose visa sanctions on Cambodia and other countries that do not cooperate with the US to repatriate their nationals who are in the US illegally. According to CNN, Department of Homeland Security spokesman Dave Lapan said on Wednesday that the US would impose additional sanctions on four countries.

 

He did not specify why those four countries, including Cambodia, were selected. The countries were chosen after the US designated them as recalcitrant in July for refusing to take back nationals, delaying repatriation, or flatly rejecting it when the US wanted to deport illegal immigrants.

 

CNN cited a source saying that the countries were Cambodia, Eritrea, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Citizens of these countries will face restrictions that could lead to visa rejection and prevention from entering the US.

Exactly what the EU should be doing with that sort of countries, especially in North Africa and ME.

Not that I know of any problems with Cambodians.
