Proclamation 10209 of May 14, 2021

Revoking Proclamation 9945

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

The suspension of entry imposed in Proclamation 9945 of
October 4, 2019 (Suspension of Entry of Immigrants Who
Will Financially Burden the United States Healthcare
System, in Order To Protect the Availability of
Healthcare Benefits for Americans), does not advance
the interests of the United States. My Administration
is committed to expanding access to quality, affordable
healthcare. We can achieve that objective, however,
without barring the entry of noncitizens who seek to
immigrate lawfully to this country but who lack
significant financial means or have not purchased
health insurance coverage from a restrictive list of
qualifying plans. The suspension of entry imposed in
Proclamation 9945 is also in tension with the policy
set forth in section 1 of Executive Order 14012 of
February 2, 2021 (Restoring Faith in Our Legal
Immigration Systems and Strengthening Integration and
Inclusion Efforts for New Americans).

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of
the United States, by the authority vested in me by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and
1185(a), hereby find that the unrestricted entry into
the United States of noncitizen immigrants based solely
on the reasons articulated in Proclamation 9945 is not
detrimental to the interests of the United States. I
therefore hereby proclaim the following:

Section 1. Revocation. Proclamation 9945 is revoked.

Sec. 2. Review of Agency Actions. The Secretary of
State, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and
the Secretary of Homeland Security shall review any
regulations, orders, guidance documents, policies, and
any other similar agency actions developed pursuant to
Proclamation 9945 and, as appropriate, issue revised
guidance consistent with the policy set forth in this
proclamation.

Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this
proclamation shall be construed to impair or otherwise
affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or
the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This proclamation shall be implemented
consistent with applicable law and subject to the
availability of appropriations.
(c) This proclamation is not intended to, and does
not, create any right or benefit, substantive or
procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any
party against the United States, its departments,
agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or
agents, or any other person.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
fourteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
fifth.
