About time. It’s disgraceful that no elected representative stood up to the ban. How does banning F2A minor children of LPR’s save American jobs?

 

 Looks like we will find out more on August 27-

 

“The court will hold a hearing on Plaintiffs’ Motions for Preliminary Injunction and Temporary Restraining Order on August 27, 2020, at 1:00 p.m.,” according to the scheduling order of District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

I will go with unpopular direction - many country in the world (no, Canada isn't the rest of the world) is in general curtailing immigration to protect their citizens' jobs.
