Trump announces he will unilaterally ban all immigration to the United States
Published 1 min ago on April 20, 2020 By Bob Brigham
President Donald Trump announced Monday evening that he would be suspending all immigration into the United States.
In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States, Trump announced on Twitter.

But, you know, if it makes Trumpy feel all big and strong, whatever... It's just another dagger in our already fucked economy.

(49,001 posts)This has zero effect on the virus and the rate of infection.
It is already well rooted all over the place.
It will be blowing up in places that had demonstrations and church services and beach strolls.
This will be about as effective as tRump's porous travel ban: not much. The blow ups in infection came from Europe after the leaky China travel ban. That was in tRump's lost five weeks.

(90,765 posts)More than anything it sounds like gristle his supporters can chew on. The whole no immigrants to take our jobs thing. Never mind many of those jobs Americans weren't doing anyway and a lot of jobs lost to the Covid 19 outbreak won't be coming back anytime soon. Some will never come back.
Trump's had a hard-on to stop all entry since the get-go. Even temporarily.

(83,754 posts)Is it okay that I hope his clan supporters choke on that gristle?
Take care, Solly.

Making emigration and travel out of the country difficult will come up at some point.
Trump's mind has North Korea and Soviet blueprints inside and perhaps Jim Jones's jungle fortress.

(45,440 posts)so I'd like to see what exactly this means. It better not be to stop swearing in new citizens who have been here for years and did everything correctly. That would warrant lawsuits.
Initech
(100,070 posts)If such a lawsuit reached SCOTUS it would be a decision that would be as bad as Citizens United. I would seriously fear that.

(65,019 posts)Yeah, Right!
The reason that industry has been dominated by migrant workers for many decades is because Americans, by & large, won't do that work.

(49,001 posts)Probably not LIHOP, but serious dereliction of duty of care to let it explode like that. Perhaps Warden and staff are trumpanzees and don't believe much in that sciency stuff.
Like I say elsewhere, and I now advise myself here, favour incompetence as an explanation over malfeasance in absence of evidence for the latter.
jmowreader
(50,557 posts)...when yooge numbers of Trump supporters who participated in "liberation" rallies, went to the beach and attended church start breaking out in COVID-19? Who will he blame then, Ellen DeGeneres, Rachel Maddow, Lady Gaga or Ozzy Osbourne? "They say this virus started out in bats...Ozzy bit the head off a bat once...it's gotta be him."
Besides, who the hell is trying to emigrate to the US during this shit? I say this is 50 percent "I hate foreigners and will take any opportunity to show it," and 50 percent "I love trolling the libs."

(4,935 posts)given the sky-rocketing infection rate, the serious lack of testing,the lack of hospita beds, the sorry state of the U.S. health care system, the unbelievably inept government response, do I have to go on?
No way in hell I would want to come to the U.S.A right now. I'd take my chances in whatever country I was in.

(32,021 posts)Attorney General John Ashcroft and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld strongly advocated raising the security threat level to "orange," even though Ridge believed a threatening message "should not be the sole reason to elevate the threat level."
Imagine if Trump had been president instead of The Apprentice host in 2004.

(561 posts)United States: Corona virus Cases: 792,913. Deaths:42,517 No specific drug to be used, No Vaccine, No Plans for testing. What jobs? Millions unemployed.
The time to 'protect" this country was back in 2018, before he fired the US Pandemic Team and cut funding to the CDC. Time to "protect" this country was taking a possible pandemic coming our way, seriously and not calling it a "hoax" and "Fake News"
So many times after that too...including not cutting funding to the WHO.
This is Trump trying to look "tough" to his supporters. The "invisible Enemy is a virus, not the immigrants he has tried to terrorize his brain dead supporters with.
In the long run maybe it's a good idea, because with so many states lifting restrictions, if a second wave should hit, he won't be able to blame it on his favorite target : immigrants.

(11,885 posts)With stopping all immigration, and next to get your wages cut. Using medical supplies and he'll use any treatments or vaccines that way too. Praise me or else. Everything he's doing is weakening this country, and hurting the American people , unless you're very wealthy. Now he has people protesting after starving them with woefully low direct cash payments to them when needed the most.
