Immigration Suspension Executive Order - MEGA THREAD

Part of me thinks that Trump found a way to hit multiple birds with one stone and ran away with it. With a presumptive EO that covers a suspension of all immigration processing into the US, he:

 

1. panders greatly to his right-wing demographic, ensuring their support in November

2. makes it look like he's doing something to address COVID-19 (another bullet point he can use in the upcoming elections)

3. like you mentioned, found a way to justify a ban on legal immigration (well, "suspension", but the time frame can easily be extended and justified by saying the US haven't met so-and-so economic metric, etc.)

 

I'm sorry for all spousal visa applications affected by this upcoming order. In my own case, mine's for a family-based visa, and while I would love for it to go through (just waiting on an interview schedule when COVID-19 hit), I can manage with it being suspended, and actually makes me think about other options moving forward if the US government has that much dislike for immigrants, even legal ones.

 

Hopefully it ends up being a non-starter, or at least something more fair to people who already are in the middle of the process, but ever since this pandemic hit, I have learned to keep my optimism down to the barest minimum. 😂

I have used up my allotted  'likes' for today, lol.  This is a great post though, thank you for making it.

You are no better than media who just do incorrect reporting.  You r speculating on something which is only a tweet. One of the poster said there is no end date of ban, where is it written ?

You are talking about me and I meant at current there was no specified end date to the ban. Because there isn't? Once they announce when it will be lifted people will be able to plan for their lives again.

You misunderstood. I am saying people are stressed because right now this 'suspension' has no end date. So they don't know when they will see their partners. Of course there will eventually be one but right now there is not.

Understood but Then there is no reason for creating fear when we dont have details.

he directly tweeted this "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!"

that infers all IMHO ... he doesnt say "some" he isnt specific, he makes a general blanket statement, intentionally of course.

i wish we didnt have to sit here at 12am and try to decipher because the president decided to tweet at 10pm on such a serious matter like immigration. I hope we wake up and he says he was hacked 😂

"Tweeting" something this important is insane. Stuff like this needs to have total and accurate information disseminated.

 

Its like if you doctor calls, says you have cancer, and then hangs up the phone

Is it better if you throw the word "potentially" between "this" and "throws"? Because the rest of it seems pretty spot on to me.

what in the constitution grants immigration rights? can you point it out?

I never said that constitution grant immigration rights but keeping  first kin away from family does violate american citizen rights

Tweets are official record of the President.  Nobody is speculating.  The fact is he said he would temporarily suspend immigration.  That's all we know so far, besides some digging reporters are speculating on.

I'm not creating it. I am just emphasizing with people who's lives have been turned upside down. My own included as we were at the interview stage. I know it will work out and we will be fine but I still feel for everyone.

Hi everyone.. It’s crazy reading this because if everything was “normal“, my husband and I would be attending his interview at 1:00 pm today. What are the odds? 
 

I don’t know what this means for any of us but I’m sending love & light to all of you. I know how hard it is. ❤️

No it doesnt. There is no right to have your "kin" immigrate. There are immigration laws that grant the abiltiy to petition, however the government has a final say on who may enter. This right is not enshrined in the constitution.
