22 million American workers across the wage scale are out of work as a result of pandemic-induced lockdowns and layoffs. Dire straits demand extreme measures. The well-being of our native workforce and the millions of families dependent upon them must be Washington’s top priority, not big business, big agriculture, Silicon Valley, academia or foreign countries clamoring to send their students and workers here to replace ours.

–All new green card applications and routine visa processing were already suspended on March 20.

–Refugee resettlement was already suspended the same week and is scheduled to be frozen until at least May 15 (although more than 1,000 Afghan refugees were flown in over the past month while the rest of us have been ordered shut in our own homes).

–Foreign travelers from China and Europe, plus Canada and Mexico, were already barred from entering (though thousands of H-2A and H-2B agricultural and seasonal workers got in and some 35,000 more expect a green light despite virus outbreaks at Chinese-owned meat plants packed with foreign laborers).

–The annual H-1B lottery for Chinese and Indian tech workers was completed last month and a total of 475,000 H-1Bs are safe while untold thousands of American STEM students, graduates and workers lost their livelihoods.

–Despite massive layoffs of H-1B workers in tech, there is no move to send them home. Instead, immigration lawyers are outrageously advising H-1B and other temporary visa holders (including those in the L-1, B-1 and R categories) that they are eligible for stimulus checks.

–More than 4,000 J-1 foreign health worker visas were freed up earlier this month while American medical professionals lost their jobs. The American Medical Association, which has artificially suppressed the supply of doctors for decades to inflate wages, is whining about shortages and pressuring to relax J-1 rules and time limits even further.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is more interested in appeasing India than protecting American workers. White House adviser Jared Kushner and his top aide Christopher Liddell (former Microsoft executive) have prioritized appeasing Apple and Amazon. I’ve learned from insiders that there are at least 15 categorical exemptions on the table and more in the works.

A one-time, 60-day Swiss Cheese-holed farce of an immigration ban will do far more harm than good for Donald Trump. Think about it this way: Various illegal immigration ethnic blocs have been granted “Temporary Protected Status” continuously since 2001.

I think Trump realized if he put restrictions on the Agriculture Slaves. Then those big busineses that have a monopoly on our food supply, would then just shut down all production. The Farm, the Processing the distribution, all done by cheap slave labor.

That would sink Trump faster than the agriculture workers nationality.

Along with Manufacturing Trump's next term will be all about returning Farming and Food production to the small operations. If we keep on like we've been, China or another country will end up owning 90% of every morsel of food America makes. That would be a fucking disaster, as it is now, since the Democrats gave Trump the authority.
He needs to seize all of the meat packing plants the Chinese have shuttered and Nationalize them, break them up and auction them off the smaller operations.

Look, if we have in-sourced or out-sourced foreign labor providing all of our goods and services, we'll be fucking rich! Just sit back and watch the money roll in.

A good fantasy dream. Even if he wanted to do so, a subject he has zero interest in, as witnessed by his first term and his choice of head of Dept of Agriculture, its a near impossible task. Unfortunately
