Abstract

When the pandemic began, the United States invoked 42 U.S.C. § 265 as a means of restricting immigration in the name of national health. This Note explores the consequences of this action for prospective immigrants, the inconsistencies between the United States’ immigration actions and their international legal obligations, and steps the United States might take moving forward.
