Trump says he’ll sign executive order to ‘temporarily suspend immigration’ because of coronavirus

President Trump said Monday night he plans to “temporarily suspend immigration” because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump announced his plan to sign an executive order in a 10:06 p.m. tweet.

“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 tweeted.

It’s unclear what effect the order will have on the spread of the deadly disease. The U.S. has already seen nearly 750,000 cases of coronavirus, and more than 39,000 deaths -- more than any other nation.

The order marks an extraordinary and unexpected use of executive power amid the coronavirus pandemic, considering his earlier optimism about some states being ready to reopen their virus-shuttered businesses.

An immigration suspension would serve as an extension on the travel restrictions the Trump administration has already imposed on most of Europe, China, Canada, Mexico, Iran and South Korea.

Trump has spent much of his presidency pushing to restrict immigration into the U.S.

The president has taken credit for his restrictions on travel to the U.S. from China and hard-hit European countries, arguing it contributed to slowing the spread of the virus in the U.S.

But he has yet to extend those restrictions to other nations now experiencing virus outbreaks.Due to the pandemic, almost all visa processing by the State Department, including immigrant visas, has been suspended for weeks.

More than 750,000 Americans have come down with COVID-19 and more than 42,000 have died.

Trump’s late-night order drew immediate fire from Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas), who accused the president of trying to create a divisive distraction.

“This action is not only an attempt to divert attention away from Trump’s failure to stop the spread of the coronavirus and save lives, but an authoritarian-like move to take advantage of a crisis and advance his anti-immigrant agenda,” the congressman tweeted. “We must come together to reject his division.”

Thanks @OccasionalCortex !

Managed to reproduce this on a test machine, so hopefully will be able to get to the bottom of it soon.

Got it!

Here was the problem, in the nginx web server config:

location ~ .(txt|js|css|ico|html)$ {

That matches plain files that end in txt, js, css, ico, html and looks for them in the file system, returning 404 if they are not found.

Mexico ends in "ico". Doh!

The fix was just to correctly backslash the period so it must be included:

location ~ \.(txt|js|css|ico|html)$ {

Wow, what a great example of an accusation of !RACISM! in order to keep fucking over American workers with H1B's and illegals.

Bet you that Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas), gets funding in some sneaky way from one of those H1B consultancies.

Look at the number of India based companies like Infosys, Tata, Wipro, Tech Mahindra whose founders don't even live in the US. They have cronies inside Tech companies like Apple in an authoritative hiring positions and only hire their own kind. Do we still in America or Banana Republic? Does any politician have the guts to ban these companies and American companies like Accenture from bringing cheap labor to eliminate American jobs? I just got a call from a friends friend (US Citizen) that we was terminated from his High Tech job. This has to stop.

Did your friends friend say if his job was replaced by H1B?
