Don’t Let Marco Rubio Play Doctor With Visas

Marco Rubio just turned cruelty into foreign policy.

Under Trump’s orders, Rubio told American diplomats to deny visas to people with health conditions like obesity, diabetes, heart disease — even depression. He’s ordering consulates to treat millions of ordinary people as “burdens.”

Millions of Americans live with these same conditions every day. Rubio is weaponizing health conditions to keep out students, workers, and families who want to come here legally. Now Rubio wants to punish people abroad for being human.

Tell Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “Rescind your cruel visa directive now. End discrimination by diagnosis.”

This new order turns embassy windows into exam rooms — with bureaucrats deciding who’s “fit” to enter the country. It’s humiliating, dangerous, and deeply un-American. Families could be torn apart, and lives upended, just to feed Trump’s hate-filled politics.

But outrage works. Rubio is already facing public backlash — and we can make it impossible for him to stand by this policy.

Tell Marco Rubio: drop the discriminatory visa order now and stop punishing people for their bodies, their health, or their humanity.

The petition to Secretary of State Marco Rubio reads: “End your health-based visa discrimination. Rescind the directive now and restore fairness to U.S. immigration.”
