President to Suspend all Immigration

Media Meltdown

It’s a positive thing that Trump is doing this. We need to remove all foreign elements within our ranks as to further delete remnants of the virus. This is a smart move, temporarily.

It’s way too late for this to make a difference as far as the virus goes. Only way it could have really helped is if this was done before the virus came to the US.

Plus immigration has essentially been suspended for like a month already when we closed our borders.

I'm not sure what is going to change compared to the previous policy to restrict immigration. It makes sense for countries to heavily limit or suspend it though in times like this. I think personally that rules for asylum should be kept however, for example with a required time in quarantine.

Since the US has developed into the current hotspot of the outbreak however it is really ls more important that Americans don't leave the country and carry it to other places, I think.

The UK and US are hotspots due to lack of testing and listening to Doctors. Too much youtoob knows best.

Ah, but no. You're quite wrong. Remember the mantra about gun control from progressives: if it saves even one life.

If these measures prevent even one person who could have the virus(but has no symptoms) from coming here and spreading it to others? Well, by their own logic: that shit is worth it.

The funny thing about those in media and elsewhere saying it's "too late" would've been screaming that he is a "racist!" if he had done it much earlier. For Trump, it's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't with those people.

Now of course if Obama happened to still be president (thank the Lord he ain't) they'd of course be going easy on him regardless. It'd be something like "Well, he is doing his best" or something similar.

Once transmission occurs within a population, immigration restrictions become worthless.

Thus this is more about winning votes than saving lives.

Okay, as long as we are setting aside the "if it even saves one life" logic now.

I will point out millions lost jobs and so stopping the flow of immigrants could mean more job openings once this is over.

The thing is that it's not "too late". Nobody is suggesting the virus will stop spreading or anything.

And how can people crying over protests also be saying "let immigrants into the country" ?

And if there is someone out there who intends to come here and who has the virus but doesn't know it because they have no symptoms...wouldn't we benefit from them not coming here and infecting others?

I swear you were probably one of those people who initially said the travel restrictions were racist. You're *that* guy. "He's scapegoating the Chinese!".

when all else fails: "f*ckin Mexicans"

Can you explain why the lockdowns should not stop, but immigrants should be able to continue flowing into this country?

Just show me you have a valid reason for being against this. It can't just be feelings, can it?

because we are already on the middle of an outbreak, and immigration neither caused nor aggravated the problem.

So you don't have a valid reason this is all just feelings. Disappointing, but not unexpected.

why ask if you're just going to ignore valid points deflect via talking about your feelings?

seems a complete waste of time, but you have fun on your hill
