Does anyone have the list?

It continues to be clear that the administration opposes legal immigration (except perhaps in narrow cases, like white South Africans).

An interesting way to make make lots of friends in many countries around the world all at the same time.

It looks like we’re trying to beat Japan, China, South Korea, Italy and Germany in who can age and shrink their population the fastest.

We used to be great shape in regards to the age depopulation bomb.

I'm glad India is not yet included

Uruguay is on the list. I remember when Uruguayans didn't even need a visa to visit the US.

This is stupid and weakens the U.S. We have benefited so much from the visa program over the history of this country. If the smartest people of Russia and various other countries want to flee and join the U.S., we would be at an advantage.

The presence of Brazil and Thailand on this list stumped me.

Is there a list of all the infractions that might have put a country on this list?

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think it's fair. AI has hit skilled labor/professionals pretty hard and it buys time to give jobs to the locals who were affected by layoffs.
