WACKO-IN-CHIEF’S FINAL DESTRUCTION OF LEGAL IMMIGRATION SYSTEM BARS WORK VISAS FOR THOSE NEEDED FOR ECONOMIC RECOVERY — Xenophobic Move So Dumb & Counterproductive That Even Trump Tool L. Graham Forced to Feebly Dissent!

Rebecca Klar reports for The Hill:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Monday that the order President Trump signed earlier in the day suspending,  with some exceptions for health care and other “essential workers,” certain temporary work visas through the end of the year will have a “chilling effect” on the nation’s economic recovery amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“This decision, in my view, will have a chilling effect on our economic recovery at a time we should be doing all we can to restore the economy,” Graham said in a series of tweets.

Of course, if Graham, Mitch, and their GOP buddies in the Senate and House really wanted to rein in Trump they could. Just get together with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and pass by veto-proof margins legislation countermanding or amending Trump’s order.

But, that would require action, not just babbling. 

In the meantime, Trump has succeeded in totally destroying the U.S. legal immigration and refugee system that has taken decades to build.  And, the institutions that could and should have stopped him failed.

We have millions of American citizens out of work. They absolutely deserve first dibs on the jobs your precious foreignors would have filled.

This is the right direction our nation is going.

Tell me how I could possibly be wrong, child?

With millions of people still out of work due to the forced shutdowns, i would advise any president to stop issuing work visas. The amount of irreplacable foreign experts is likely near zero. I would love for The Hill to name a few positions that cannot possibly filled with/by Americans.
It’s all fake news garbage.

Judge Schmidt, these trolls don’t deserve a response really (although yours are both really good!). Both are clearly so uneducated and seem to be followers of the “real” Fake News….it boggles the mind. Maybe the Russians are trying to interfere with your informed and knowledgeable blog on these issues, who knows? As you said, let the trolls do the jobs that “Americans” haven’t done in the past 150 years – or ever really….The jobs that are really front line essential workers which keep ‘Merica afloat.

Let those trolls eat cake. Looking forward to seeing you again, post-covid19, hopefully sooner than later. Until then, You keep on, keepin on!
Warm regards,
