Portugal has temporarily given all migrants and asylum seekers full citizenship rights, granting them full access to the country's healthcare as the outbreak of the novel coronavirus escalates in the country.
The move will"unequivocally guarantee the rights of all the foreign citizens" with applications pending with Portuguese immigration, meaning they are"in a situation of regular permanence in National Territory," until June 30, the Portuguese Council of Ministers said on Friday.
Among European countries I think only Portugal has the human heart to accept these people who are victims of circumstances caused by a wronged foreign policy of the west!
Hell ya!! That’s a beautiful place ...Not like America. You die in America before you can get freedom from ice
CalebHowe Portugal right now:
naomirwolf What a good human thing to do
Earth has no natural frontiers
Goodluck to Portugal. And for America it's America first.
So what ed are not a socialist country. Ileagals should be sent back like they came here it is still against the law to be in america ileagally.
And the Northern countries of the EU are gonna pick up the bill again?
Awsome step. God will reward this step who ever is involved. Ameen
Good for Portugal. They will end up like Spain all in the spirt of Political Correctness! If not Portugal's economy is depressed as it is, now they do this. Not the brightest lights on the tree!
As much as i love being portuguese and going to Portugal, i would rather be sick in the U.S and go to the Doctors here.
Was just fantasizing about retiring to Lisbon-this goes in the plus column
7SinsOfTrump Thank God a real Christian country still exists.
4 days late
Dumbocrats right now
There is only 10 million people in Portugal. Slightly bigger than NYC..
The article says nothing about illegals, I have to assume that these migrants and asylum seekers are all in the pipeline and have this followed all the rules
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Take heed, Australia.
🤦
So?
sistercrow Thank you Portugal
Wow,
Yeah... That will come back to haunt them.
After we are done with this virus that has rattled literally everything, an imbalance in global workforce is inevitable, and I think this is a first mover advantage for Portugal
Smart move, but that takes a higher sense of responsibility and understanding how to protect a society.
I hope all 16 of those people appreciate this news.
Portugal bends over and takes it in the ass for illegals. Thanks to their leaders.
Portugal just became a country to consider.
Wishful thinking so that the illegals can help the Democrats win, it's never going to happen thanks for the request Fake News CNN the most bias news media in the World...
. Why is this constantly being repeated/rerun? Brainwashing Americans into doing it too, when hospitals are already overrun? 🤔 Sure, free healthcare for the world! Would be nice; get real! .
so long Portugal.
Kudos to Portugal.
CiHarb Great idea ❤💕🌻🌻
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ 🇵🇹
If they have the opportunities for..
So?
The stupid Americans “we take care of our own” , these people are in your country, they get it, you get it. If only for selfish American reasons you house and feed these people like your own to protect yourselves.
All who think this will drain P's economy. Those people can work now. Which most of them want more then anything. There are MD's and nurses among them. They are not dead weight!
People dont get that by doing this, they re also saving their own people s lives!!! When one person is infected Everyone in a country becomes at risk!!
Countries that treat people like humans, yea!
jchaltiwanger 🌈💞👃👏🏽👏🏼👏🏽
Wowww Portugal!
A good example of global responsibility and shared solidarity COVID19 CoronavirusPandemic CovidUpdates
Population of Portugal 10 million. Population of nyc 8 million. Do the math. Time for you to stop with this CNN before you blow up our country.
I love Portugal 💋
Ik mag toch hopen dat als het er op aan komt, de Portugees wel voorrang krijgt op de gelukszoeker.
WHICH IS FUCKING STUPID..... IN NEW YORK , ITS THE MIGRANTS THAT ARE STRAINING THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AND HELPING TRANSMIT THE VIRUS DUE TO THE HIGH POPULACE ENVIRONMENT. THIS IS WHY ELMHURST QUEENS IS A DEATH ZONE....
Covid19 reminds us to be human
That is the right thing to do given these in chartered times
Temporarily full citizenship. Sounds human. What will happen when temporarily is finished? Probably these groups will stay and overwhelm the unemployed statistics in Portugal.
We can start flying our illegals over there ASAP
Not. A. Chance.
That's very humane of them
How generous Portugal government is! If I were the leader, I wouldn’t give migrants and asylum seekers the citizenship rights. I wouldn’t grant them full access to the healthcare. Portugal is the best country ever amid covid-19 pandemic😊🇵🇹✨
Did mail in ballots come in the welcome to Portugal kit?
Meanwhile, we have citizens that are uninsured and a leading reason for bankruptcies is medical bills.
something even an American citizen won't get from their own country.
BRAVO/BRAVO/BRAVO.OUTSTANDING FORWARD THINKING.PROTECT EVERYONE PORTUGAL.THANKS.
That_is_called_Serving_Humanity
realDonaldTrump would never do this. He might lose his brainwashed supporters.
Your organization always has to be political. You= FAKE NEWS
That’s their mistake.
This can only go well
I’d be ok with this if it’s only for the migrants who have committed the 1 crime(being here illegally) and are working here and paying taxes. The ones sitting in the ICE facilities with multiple felonies shouldn’t get the same treatment.
God I wish I had left to Portugal. That’s how you treat people!!
Really? All 25 of them?
That’s humane and will reduce the spread
Smart
Oh look it’s CNN pushing a left socialism again.... shocker!! In other news... water = wet
TEMPORARILY*****
Cool send them all to Portugal then.
Fake news ！No one in America is sick .We're going to meet friends. We're going to party all night .We need to get together and let everyone know that no one in America is sick .Free Americans will not be confined to their homes
Keep up with the good intentions, Portugal. The road to hell ain't gonna pave itself.
Check back in a couple months and see how they are doing financially....
Best way to go bankrupt.
There are 7 migrants.
Imagine that
The word 'temporary' is questionable in the post covid19. The best is that it makes donald trump be the cheapest leader of a civilized country in modern time. The Portugueses love their government's decision. Here president trump was a bankrupt crook, brainwashing the gen. Z
The world will be relocated. Chloroquine and pyramax without side effects
What’s your point?
Portugal doesnt have a 3rd world country right next to it. But good work yet again from the dumbest fucking news network! I wish I was as dumb as a cnn reporter I'd never be out of work!
Looks like Portugal has at least a little sense left, at least they didn’t give illegal migrants citizenship. This degrades what it means to be a citizen but doesn’t quite make it completely meaningless...yet.
Crisis breeds selfishness. It takes courage to show kindness in times of unprecedented times. Kudos to Portugal! The world can really learn from them, we need kindness to prevail!
Illinois cuts off our healthcare plans for healthcare workers
Human thing to do
Portugal is a third world country Who cares IT WONT HAPPEN HERE QNN
Great send over our illegals to them! We take care of our own first!!!
I’m an American can I come
Give healthcare - no money
Shocking. A country with grownups making grownup decisions.
Sure, that will end well.
Socialism by design. Ok. Whatever. But, let’s collect our thoughts, think logical and assess what this Scientist has recommended. Are we just kick this can (coronavirus issue) down the road?
Never thought Portugal is such a hidden gem
Ignorant people everywhere. Treating everyone stops the corona virus outbreak in the world. However some countries don’t care about their own citizens health (USA) and they feel offended when others going beyond expectations to save lives.
Nobody: Literaly nobody: Portugal: I know that the economy is now in a serious crysis, but... lets spend a lot of money
The US would never..
Cnn today said theirs no cure!!. It’s a flat out disrespect to all doctors doing what’s right
Morons. horrible for there economy and they are just shitting on the citizens who pay taxes
Great news. Surely they'll be seeking a handout from the US, in the future. All will go unnoticed in the MSM🙄
کشورهایتان را به جولانگاه مسلمانان تبدیل نکنید اروپا دیگر مسیحی ندارد
🤔
And of course you Lefties would love to see that happen here in the United States. We cannot solve/help/remedy all of the Worlds problems. Yes we can try and help as much as we can but at what cost? COVID2019
Philippine president saying that he's going to shoot their citizens with the Coronavirus. We need to bring attention to this
Why that’s so Christian of them
PM of AU is telling everyone with a student visa and temp visa to go home, while he just cancelled most of the flight? 500,000 international students are stuck here after paying the really high tuition fee, they're bearing with discrimination and extra high spending.
These comments about to get real viscous
Good for them we’re not. Our economy is crushed by GeorgeSoros BillGates ImstillVotingForTrump. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
For the migrants here in the US that did not receive help from the gov; should they just go out on the street as if the quarantine does not apply for them
How many times have you posted this news ? Why ?
This headline is NOT correct and misleading
Bas na re lavde kitni baar batayega ek hi baat, bhak mc
It looks good, but it will drain Portugal's finances
So hospitable
:)
Wow
Difference between socialism and capitalism. We’re still focused on the stock market.
Godly move portugal
wow. In the US we are not capable or don’t want to give healthcare to our own people. Just too expensive so they say.
👍👍
Ooh that's great
Plz push for it as big Countries should do the same..👍
A shining beacon of light. We see you from the dark mire Stateside
NYchamps27 Smart move. It will allow their healthcare system to contain the spread from their ranks. 😉🙏🏽
Well done Portugal
Portugueses are great people
Wauw ! Nice demonstration of humanity ! Thx Portugal
Wow!!!! This is the way to go
joycew_lay PresidencyZA
ポルトガルと市民の為に祈ります。
Ngaruthi Temporarily 🤔
wyn_o Ugh. These comments. This is neither a stupid move, nor is it Portugal showing incredible compassion. It's just smart to protect everyone. If migrants & refugees are sick & can't get treatment, they'll never control the corona virus spread. This is just a rational smart decision.
pedge_33 port has pop of MO
Portugal residents will be drained of every resource possible, let the go fund Portugal’s start. The natives will need it.
🇵🇹 ❤️
The smart thing to do. A migrant might have no rights in a country, but he can still contract and spread the disease, so it's best to treat all and heal as many as posible. Political stuff can be handled later. This pandemic is really taking us back to the basic: we are equal.
zuah16 😭😭😭😭😭 Why the fuck I’m not there yaaaar
That will not end well for the citizens of Portugal.
Unbelievable! Hope the USA doesn’t do the same with the illegal alien criminals invading our country.
Nice one! 👍💖
Boomers screwed by Capitalism losing their shit in 3,2,1...
Very proud of my country right now!
