                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.
