BREAKING - Trump Announces BAN To ALL Immigration In USA

HELL YES! He should have done this day one of his presidency.

He has been waiting for an excuse to do this since day 1.

Who’s coming here right now anyway? Another meaningless move to throw red meat to his supporters.

[quote] HELL YES! He should have done this day one of his presidency.

Elaborate

link!!!!!

[quote]link!!!!!

Who cares? The country is a fucking shattered mess right now. The last thing we need is more people to take care of right now.

[quote]as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens

Very Hitler....zee master race and all that.

The joke is no one wants to come here.

A meaningless gesture that will excite his base. No one is immigrating to the US right now. No one can fucking travel here.

Say goodbye to fresh fruit, vegetables, meat

I'm going out tomorrow and buying cases of canned vegetables, and dried fruit

R11, It’ll be a half-assed thing where commerce will be allowed. Ships, planes, and trucks will be fine.

Ann Coulter just orgasmed

Halt immigration? Like every type?

Workers, students, nurses, mail order brides?

Who the hell is coming to the US right now anyway?

He'll have forgotten by tomorrow, but this is just throwing red meat to his base, since a lot of them aren't too happy about how he's handled the coronavirus.

I'm kind of creeped out by racists like R1.

Does diss mean I get dee por ted?

Please?

[QUOTE] A meaningless gesture that will excite his base.

Cue the outcry from liberal immigrant rights groups and legal challenges from the ACLU. Dem congressional leadership tweeting their disapproval. Nonstop outrage on MSNBC and CNN with their pencil neck legal experts opining that it won’t hold up in court. This is what the base feed offs of. If everyone ignored it or went along with it, they’d be distraught. They need to see Trump own the libs! Here’s a shiny new object for cable news and the blogosphere so they can stop talking about the fact that April is almost over and the administration still doesn’t have its shit together on Coronavirus testing.

Why would anyone want to come here now anyway?

Did the Invisible Enemy just appear?

About a million people immigrate here every year you elitist trash bag R9.

“America SUCKS no one likes us!!!” Yeah ok. Tell that to the HUGE backlogs of people waiting for their visa number to be called, especially from the big 4 countries: Mexico, Philippinea, India, and China.

These people can wait DECADES based on their category.

It may be nice for you in Palo Alto or wherever you are to be so nonchalant, but people literally die waiting to come here. But you’re probably one of the “lock everything down forever!” crowd, so what do you care?

Build the Wa.... wait...

Are we really supposed to be surprised that this trash human being would do this? Really?

I’m a Canadian and even with all it’s problems I’d still move to the us if I could. Only because I want to live in New Orleans though.

Trumps Cracker deplorable supporters are all brain dead white trash.

They ruin everything.

He will lose the election for sure if he maintains this ban.

[quote]Who the hell is coming to the US right now anyway?

Literally no one, which is why he's doing it now. His crazy base will think he's really doing something with this meaningless stunt, but he'll quietly reverse the ban when the economy starts up again.

US right now is the major focus of infection of the world, close the immigration for sure, but also the emigration, please.

[quote]Only because I want to live in New Orleans though.

Why would you want to live there?

And Steven Miller just shot the biggest load of his life!

Zeig Heil, Trump!

It's designed to rescue his popularity and let's face it, immigration when we are shedding jobs is just creating a humanitarian crisis.

Oh Jesus Christ. We'll never hear the end of this at his daily campaign rally disguised as a COVID-19 press briefing. When very few are even coming here now. Motherfucking Trump creates another distraction.

Anything Trump does is to distract. The only ones who don't see that are the Deplorables singing and dancing towards the edge thinking they own Liberals that way. I'd say just give them a "so long, goodbye" wave.

By what authority?

He needs to send home the Indian tech workers asap. Fuck the companies who used them to replace American workers.

This might win him the election.

Wtf! Lol..

Nah. This will hurt him. Too transparent. Most will see it does nothing for the present crisis.

R1 is the same fat turd that started this stupid ass thread.

R35 they are home. Corporations opened call centers in India since the 90s.

R36 only stupid simpletons like you think that . No one was immigrating here right now lol

[quote]they are home. Corporations opened call centers in India since the 90s.

He was talking about H1Bs

Really, who wants to come to this hell hole. The fuckery is just beginning with those idiotards marching with their guns and haircut woes.

R39, that doesn't surprise me at all. I'm guessing R1 was a big Milo supporter back when he mattered to anyone.

R12, but they’re won’t be any illegals to pick the crops and they’ll rot in the fields. Almost all farmers in California depend on illegal labor to pick crops. Probably other places too, like Florida.

They'll just claim those workers are 'migrants' not 'immigrants'.

As always, possibly the right decision....but for the wrong reason!

Exactly R46

A meaningless gesture

He’s blocking those who are leaving their own country in hopes of coming permanently to the US.

These days, other than immediate family members (like “Melanie’s”), and foreign children US citizens are on the verge of adopting, that’s almost no one.

Never mind, smart, creative and talented people of the world!

The old continent is still open to you!

5 months too late idiot

[quote]This might win him the election.

No, Great Grandpa Joe will.

One more time:

Americans At World Health Organization Told Trump Administration About Coronavirus ‘Late Last Year’

Most immigrants face near starvation conditions in Homeland. There are billions of people eager to come to states. Trump is a liberal by any sane standard. Immigrants are great in first generation but their descendents cause balkanization

How long do you think it will be before trump starts using phrases like “the final solution”?

So Trump wants to ban immigration to help protect us from covid-19... just as he's showing support for people protesting the stay-at-home orders that help protect us from covid-19.

The hypocrisy of the GOP knows no limit.

Hypocrisy = Idiocy = [bold]Rump[/bold]ublican

What will this mean for 90 Day Fiancé?

We're the global center of the pandemic, who WANTS to come here?

That tweet doesn't mean anything anyway, it's just pandering to the base. There's been no law or change of procedure as far as anyone can tell.

Finally. Now let's throw out the illegals.

Republicans often say that they support immigration as long as it's legal. But the ALT-right does not. Coronavirus provides a very convenient excuse for him.

How will he find wifey #4?

He needs to go blow another meth hole in his septum me thinks.

[quote] Most immigrants face near starvation conditions in Homeland.

It’s Spring, they can start planting, at home.

Thank goodness he’s saving the rest of the world from the Walking Dead levels of pandemic that’s about to occur, thanks to his demands everything open up before we’ve even hit the top of the curve.

Anyone who wants to come to the U.S. now is choosing to come to the equivalent of one of those cruise death ships. Only bigger.

Nobody here seems to understand what a huge percentage of America's scientists and physicians immigrate here. If we want to find a treatment and/or vaccine, we need these people. One of the worst things we could do would be to keep them from coming here.

This will get him reelected.

You queens living in your liberal bubbles just watch.

Can Americans seek asylum in other countries yet?

[quote] Nobody here seems to understand what a huge percentage of America's scientists and physicians immigrate here. If we want to find a treatment and/or vaccine, we need these people.

There are labs and equipment in many countries in which they can do their work just as well and they can collaborate electronically with colleagues all over the world. It’s not necessary for them to be physically in the U.S.

[QUOTE] He needs to send home the Indian tech workers asap. Fuck the companies who used them to replace American workers.

He’s not sending anyone home. Stop with the fantasies. Once the smoke clears and we start to see all the fine print and disclaimers and exceptions that he was forced to add later, we’ll probably end up with MORE Indian tech workers in the end.

It's okay if it's temporary.

Immigrants come here and behave in first generation. Subsequent generation s want to kill us and start their own country in our borders. Deport

He didn’t really ban immigration but did he ban access to life saving supplies and equipment to first responders. That is the real question here.

Let’s get the media on that right away.

R71 exactly right like Thiel, Cruz and Plump.

All second generation immigrant thugs.

[quote] Once the smoke clears and we start to see all the fine print and disclaimers and exceptions that he was forced to add later, we’ll probably end up with MORE Indian tech workers in the end.

Yep, it'll be like his 'travel ban' from Europe, which was loaded with loopholes and exceptions.

We’re you talking about the Kochs, r71?

Thiel? Drumpf? Cruz?

All 2nd generation immigrants. There’s a bunch of them in the right wing who want us to be more fascist like they home countries used to be.

They long for it.

Murdochs are not American. Isn’t that ironic.

I think the above poster was talking about 2nd generation Muslims, and he's not entirely incorrect.

Anyone suggesting this will get Trump re-elected isn't thinking very clearly.

First, like the rest of Trump's "bans", it will be riddled with loopholes, exceptions, special circumstances and set-asides, mostly for rich people to have their gardeners, cleaners and au-pairs. And just like his China travel ban, which allowed 40,000 people to still come into the US from China [italic]after[/italic] the ban was enacted, which helped bring in thousands of infected individuals, there will be no real controls on who is allowed and who is not... aside from their skin color.

Second, we're about to head into (and some regions are already there) prime crop-picking season. Farmers are already screaming about a lack of available labor. Without low-paid immigrants, the crops will be left to die and rot in the fields, unless, of course, those hard-working Americans get up off their fat asses and... hahahahaha hahaha haha, who am I kidding. Goodbye, fresh fruits and vegetables; hello to the third (or is it the fourth?) multi-billion dollar bailout of farmers. Millennials and younger folks take note: this is how Trump is spending your retirements.

Third, blocking immigrants simply means that we're turning away the best and the brightest the world has to offer. Sure, there's an overwhelming amount of low-paid undocumented immigrants — they always get the attention — but if you've been to any hospital, medical facility, tech company, college or university, you'll soon realize that the rest of the world sends their overachievers here for education and gaining the kinds of experience that one can only achieve in a first world nation.

Here's the problem, and why I think that this ban is going to bite Trump on his ample derriere: we're heading into the most critical period of the pandemic. Just as the sheltering is showing results, the deplorables are agitating for their freedumb, which is going to bend the curve in the opposite direction. As red state governors re-open their economies, it will take 3 to 4 weeks, and hospital emergency room will again be overrun, and the problem is compounded by the fact that there is still a shortage of PPE, equipment and facilities; and all of those first responders and front line caregivers will be sick themselves, or so exhausted and demoralized that they give up, and not necessarily by choice.

Trump has done nothing to shore up the food supply chain. We're about to have fresh meat shortages as the reality of just how filthy, disgusting and unregulated the conditions the meat packing industry operates under comes to light; conditions that are largely hidden by the fact that roughly half of the workers in these plants are undocumented and afraid to speak out, particularly as Trump ramps up the xenophobia. By the middle of June, the shortages of fresh fruits and vegetables will begin. By July, the states that have refused to act responsibly will be on their knees begging the Federal government for help, but no worries, Trump is clearly not doing the planning [italic]now[/italic] that saving them [italic]then[/italic] will require.

By August, as we shelter-in-place again (and for some, it will just be a continuation) it will become apparent unemployment is going to stay at Depression-era levels because the people who can afford to dine out, attend high-priced sporting and entertainment events, and travel — while not working — are not leaving their homes. Restaurants, bars, venues, hotels and the airlines are not going to go on hiring binges without the customers to pay for it. Besides that, the shortages of food — and healthy workers — will prevent any large scale rebounding of the economy.

The point is that we're witnessing the collapse of our way of life because we have incompetent leaders (at least at the Federal level and in conservative states) who are going to be twisting in the wind as the crisis worsens... and people head to the polls.

At least the ban is something that everyone can feel good about.

R77, can you let people speak for themselves?

Well, r71?

Which second generation immigrants want to remake the country in their own fascist interests?

r80 who elected your ass judge and jury?

R77, are you afraid what r71 is going to say? Why try to mute him?

We’d like to hear from the poster.

Second generation Muslims are problematic in many Western countries r82. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that some immigration policies have been particularly short-sighted.

Islam is not a country.

Try to finish grade school first. One thing at a time.

Nice deflection r84. You know damn well what's being talked about, you just want to obfuscate.

Well, it's not like I had a chance anyway.

[quote]Which second generation immigrants want to remake the country in their own fascist interests?

Well, obviously the Trumps for starters: the decadence started with his father and it went downhill really fast to fascism from there.

[quote]Which second generation immigrants want to remake the country in their own fascist interests?

Hmmm......I wonder...........

idiocy, these people are working and paying taxes at this point, denying them what they have worked for so far is cruel

To repeat what R50/ R52 was saying - right idea but waaay way too late. Should have done this mid January at the very latest.

He's closing the stable door long after the horse has bolted

Farmers have had to plow over crops because they don't have workers to pick fruit/vegetables

Most of the help at maralago is immigrant help.

[quote] Farmers are already screaming about a lack of available labor.

The seasonal farm workers are exempt from the ban. Was announced yesterday.

yeah, like all the ridiculous things trump proposes, its a circus for his base, then he silently walks it back

It would be great if this applied to the foreign trash with money who buy up US real estate, but they will surely be exempt from this rule.

Except Russians

One out of every four doctors in the United States battling on the front lines against Corona is an immigrant.

Four out of five dentists surveyed recommend sugarless gums for their patients who chew gum.

Trump’s followers are too stupid to realize no one in immigrating here now anyway

R96 prolly a larger percent. They abandoned their own people. The fundamental point is that you build a country by having children. It's just plain ludicrous to flood a country with foreigners. People want to party and be single instead of building families.

[quote]The seasonal farm workers are exempt from the ban. Was announced yesterday.

And still(!) farmers complain. I guess what they're really asking Trump for is slaves.

Because doctors have been running a hugely successful cartel to fleece us all R96 and only immigrants have managed to bring prices down a wee bit.
