President Donald Trump tweeted late Monday night that he will sign an executive order temporarily limiting all immigration to the United States in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
“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,†he wrote shortly after 10:00 pm ET.

And the schizophrenic left will condemn him for racism at the same time criticizing him for not doing enough to protect Americans from the Corona.
Its too damn bad congress cannot participate in such decisions as it is no longer capable of fulfilling its Constitutional role as an effective deliberative body.

EXCELLENT move!

Trump says his executive order to temporarily suspend immigration into the US will last 60 days

President Donald Trump said on Monday that his executive order to suspend immigration into the US would be in place for 60 days.
Trump initially tweeted about the measure on Monday night and said his decision was spurred by an "attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens."
Trump clarified the measure at a coronavirus press briefing on Tuesday and said the order would only apply to individuals seeking permanent residency or green card seekers.

...
The Race Cards were filling the airwaves before Trump finished his announcement, possibly literally. Libs and Progs learned nothing from their stupid Race-Card denunciations of Trump's China travel shutdown.

I see what you did there.

In related news the President also signed an executive order to protect American consumers from excessive late fees for video tape rentals, protections for American households with land lines against unsolicited faxes, and saved Christmas again.

Well, I for one am glad he saved Christmas. As for the land lines, just unhook the fax when you aren't either using it or expecting one, and the video tape place went the way of the dinosaur, so I guess I'll just have to keep them...

Congress has become a major debate club. They have mass debates all day long, when they aren't just stuffing something through and screwing the taxpayer.
Makes you wonder what the incidence of carpal tunnel is on Capitol Hill.... :shrug: :whistle: 888mouth
(from all that mass debating)
-
Congress has learned, especially with Obama, that they can evade all responsibility by doing nothing.
This throws all authority and actions onto the executive, so they take all the heat. Otherwise nothing gets done.
Then the Congress slimeballs will crawl out of the shadows and either condemn or support the action depending on public opinion.
Congress is all about NOT being answerable for anything as to evade any fault whatsoever.
I didn't do it!
It wasn't me!
or
I wholeheartedly support the President's actions in every possible way!

Seems to me Congress is agreeing on Trillions of things, and President Trump is signing them.

@240B
Last time we talked I pointed out Trump signed $2.8T of laws passed by rat and trumplican alike, and almost unanimously. That's a pant's-full of somethin' . I'm not trying to make you look bad. I honestly believe you think your statement makes sense in light of the facts. I would love it if you could explain to me how you don't see the contradictions.
Then the Congress slimeballs will crawl out of the shadows and either condemn or support the action depending on public opinion.
Condemn or support??? It's almost like they figured out a way to answer any question, the fiends! It is their job to represent their constituency. Why condemn them for doing what a majority of their voters want?
oh yeah...

Trolling!

Let's check that. @Chosen Daughter do you blame our Congress for spinelessly voting unanimously for $2Trillion of coronavirus stimulus last month? Maybe also for President Trump siding with Kerry over Massie? You don't need to wait, she does. In fact there are a whole bunch of Briefers unhappy about it.
I didn't do it!
It wasn't me!
You did. You destroyed America. Why do you insist on ruining our lives.
I'm kidding life is fine. America is fine.
or

Not me, but he's doing pretty well on COVID-19. It would be hard for him to improve greatly, and he faces minimal opposition in whatever he wants.

As long as the little $$$$ come home, it seems to be so. But behind all that apparent agreement, there is an awful lot being blackmailed through or held hostage.
NONE there have the guts to endure the optics of "not caring" about the victims of a failing economy.

Wow @Once-Ler that's impressive. I am truly humbled that you would put so much time and effort to respond to one of my stupid posts.
Thank You.
The thread we are on is about immigration and foreign workers. It is not about COVID-19 except maybe indirectly.
But that is not what I or this thread is talking about. My post was about immigration, not about various bailout packages. If you want to talk about that, there are a dozen threads where you can discuss bailouts or stimulus to your heart's content.
You are on the wrong thread. But still, I am humbled by the effort you put into it.

Trump lied. Not surprising. And most people will not even know. I bet this will be one that shows up in one of @LegalAmerican long lists she posts. So its winning for Trump only. Not us. He didn't stop all immigration.
Trumps EO is COVID sharing with Mexico.
Trump’s Immigration Ban Exempts “Refugees†& “Essential Workersâ€
Numerous categories of people won’t be affected by the executive order.
While President Trump’s immigration ban was celebrated by many of his supporters, it has since emerged that the draft executive order contains broad exemptions for “refugees,†“essential workers†and a number of other categories of people.
“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 tweeted last night.
The news was greeted with massive enthusiasm from Trump’s base, some of whom feel he hasn’t done enough to fulfil his campaign promise of building a wall to keep out illegal immigrants.
However, it has now been revealed that there are a number of caveats.
Bloomberg News reports that the EO “includes exceptions for people seeking jobs in “food production and directly helping to protect the supply chain,†which could apply to farm workers.â€...

Good job Donald! The art of the deal is certainly to get people to believe your lies.
