  • Immigration Policies Defended By White House After Recent Killing
  • 8_July

    The White House on Monday defended its policies on immigration while blaming the Republicans after a woman in San Francisco was killed, with sources saying the killing was perpetrated by an illegal immigrant.

    The White House blamed Republicans for voting against a bipartisan immigration bill that would have boosted border security funding.

     “I recognize that people want to play politics with this,” an official said recently. “The fact is that the President has done everything within his power to make sure that we’re focusing our law enforcement resources on criminals and those who pose a threat to public safety.”

    The woman in San Francisco was shot and killed on Wednesday at a popular tourist destination in San Francisco. The suspect had multiple charges for felony against him and had been deported to Mexico five times.

    The official found fault with the “efforts of Republicans” for blocking “the kind of investment that we would like to make in securing our border and keeping our communities safe.”

    The spokesman pointed to President Obama’s executive actions on immigration launched last fall, which instructed that deportation of people who are considered “public safety threats” be given top priority.

    “We have started to make changes in terms of structuring and staffing … to ensure that our law enforcement efforts are focused on felons and not on families,” the official said. “These efforts would be significantly augmented had Republicans not blocked common-sense immigration reform.”

  • For Civil Surgeons: Immigration Medical Examination: Some FAQ’s Answered
  • Q: With reference to the Immigration Medical Examination, how long are TST/IGRA and chest X-ray results valid after they are obtained by the USCIS-approved CIVIL Surgeon?

    A: The immigration medical exam is intended to be a “snapshot” of the applicant’s medical status. Therefore, the TST/IGRA and chest X-ray results must be closely related in time to the physical examination and laboratory results. There should not be a very big gap between the conduction of the test and the time the applicant submits the report. This is to avoid any complications during Visa processing.

    Q: Can prior TST or IGRA results submitted by an outside doctor’s office be accepted by the Civil Surgeon, in lieu of performing the TST or IGRA?

    A: No. A prior negative TST or IGRA result cannot be accepted since the Civil Surgeon must verify that the person applying for immigration benefits is the person appearing for the immigration medical exam. This is including any required tests such as the TST. However, a positive TST or IGRA result may be accepted based on an exception outlined in the TB updates.

    Q: What is LTBI and when should an applicant be classified with it?

    A: LTBI is Latent T B Infection. All those applicants who:

    • Have recently arrived in the U.S. (arrived within the last 5 years) from countries with a high TB prevalence,
    • Have a TST reaction of 10mm or greater of induration and
    • Have no evidence of TB disease

    should be classified with LTBI.
