Trump tweets of executive order suspending all immigration

Maybe you should have thought about that before you spread the coronavirus around everywhere. (sarcasm)

Honestly surprised he hasn’t already…

Surely unwarranted snarky comments aren’t very… Canadian, at least by some idealistic standard.

I welcome immigrants from all over the globe based on who they are, not on who happens to be in power in the country of their birth. No celebrating those who are denied the opportunity.

(And some of our most productive citizens were born in the U.S. Many of my professors were draft dodgers who settled here to both our and their benefit.)

Orenwolf, you are just one shining example of the many immigrants on whom the country depends. I’m hoping your process will not be interrupted. This is surely not the most important reason, but…bb needs you!

Realistically, what this probably means is that people who are in the process will be denied and have to leave the country.

You wait and see. Very much in keeping with the playbook so far.

The latest in the Heather Cox Richardson thread that @anon15383236 has been posting to has some valuable context around this. Highly recommended.

Yep, she’s good with both context and relevant details.

For the sake of convenience:

Love the image too of Hoover being shunned by dogs and making even flowers wilt. :grin:

Yep, don’t hold your breath for that green card (not that you were anyhow now that you know how dysfunctional-by-design USCIS is).

Having gone through that miserable process many years ago, my sympathies are with you. There’s just a built-in resentment of or at least suspicion in the U.S. about someone with talent and education who’s willing to work hard and contribute daring to “steal” a slot from a totally unqualified (and usually uninterested) native-born American.

I welcome anyone who has the desire and stamina to come here, regardless of whether they’re a tech worker or a laborer who trekked up from El Salvador. Open the fucking borders, to everyone. We have lots of space, and will have more as people keep dying from the Trump virus.

But also we don’t want you if all you’re gonna do is freeload.

What do you mean Catch-22 isn’t a documentary?

Oh, ho! Au contraire, mon ami! The freeloaders who don’t pay taxes are welcomed with open arms… you know, the ones where greatgrandpappy’s money means they don’t lift anything heavier than a pen for tax deductible donations to the party that ensures that money will never be taxed. The trick is your freeloading needs to cost the government billions, not just a paltry couple thousand here and there.

Hell, I have to pay into both Medicare/Medicaid whatever and social security despite being ineligible for both.

Always weird seeing a guy married to an immigrant and only 3rd-generation American shitting in the plate he abundantly eats from.

Don’t forget his wife is Slovenian by birth… well, technically, she would have been born Yugoslav, but you know what I mean.
