Investing.com -- Ecuador is exploring potential visa restrictions for citizens from 45 countries, including Cuba and Haiti, as part of efforts to help the United States reduce illegal migration, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced during her visit to Quito on Thursday.
Noem revealed that similar restrictions already implemented for Chinese citizens traveling to the U.S. through Ecuador have yielded significant results, reducing encounters between these individuals and U.S. officials at the southern border by 70%.
"Ecuador taking action has already dramatically improved our security situation in the United States," Noem stated after meeting with Ecuadorean President Daniel Noboa and several ministers. "Ecuador is also working to impose similar restrictions on 45 other countries including high risk countries like Haiti and Cuba."
