Donald Trump was quoted by News agency Ruuters “While our healthcare system grapples with the challenges caused by uncompensated care, the United States Government is making the problem worse by admitting thousands of aliens who have not demonstrated any ability to pay for their healthcare costs. ” The statement, issued by the White House, said it would not affect any individual’s eligibility for asylum or refugee status. The measure will take effect on Nov. 3.
According to a study conducted by kaizer family foundation, In 2017, there were 22 million noncitizens residing in the United States, accounting about 7% of the total U.S. population.
Further, the research indicated that Noncitizens are significantly more likely than citizens to be uninsured. "Among the nonelderly population, 23% of lawfully present immigrants and more than four in ten (45%) undocumented immigrants are uninsured compared to less than one in te (8%) citizens . Moreover, among citizen children, those with at least one non-citiz parent are nearly twice as likely to be uninsured as those with citizen parents (7 vs. 4%)".
What is clear here is that this immigration policy will deny visas to uninsured, low-income immigrants, while allowing the rich to move America, and that this is about cost cutting measure by US government. It will come as a heavy blow to those who want to go to America to look for opportunities.
The irony is that trump himself is said to have been raised by an immigrant. "Trump’s Scottish mother Mary Anne Macleod met the Republican candidate-elect’s father Fred on a holiday or trip to New York in 1930. She was apparently introduced to him at a party by her sister, Catherine".- The National, a Scotland Newspaper
The newspaper also claims that it has proof that Trump's mother was a poor immigrant. " Mary Anne Macleod Trump was a poor immigrant who arrived in New York with just $50 in her purse and worked as a domestic servant in the city for at least four years".
I have seen many people who were raised in a poor backgrounds, but immediately when they rise to the top they forget where they come from. They tend to make it difficult for others who want to climb up the lather. For Trump is like hating the person he sees reflected on the mirror, he is the product of immigration if the reports are true.
Trump's idea might be good in terms of cost cutting measure and for the economy but his hate against immigrants while he is said to be a President raised by a poor immigrant makes it difficult to commend his policy.
South Africa is introducing the National health issuance (NHI) , and South Africa being the America to the African continent it would be regrettable to see the country going the trump route and ban all legal immigrants because of their financial backgrounds. The NHI will come with its own challenges a specially because our health system is already in crisis and that South Africa has high unemployment rate.

In South Africa the person who is vocal about immigration is Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba, but he is against illegal immigration rather against "poor" legal immigration.
