Trump to close all borders

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!

President Donald John Trump is cutting an order halting all immigration to the United States.

He announced it on Twitter, which led to a nice defense by Scott Presler, the long-haired young man who went around the country cleaning up cities until COVID-19 hit.

I would love to see the mental gymnastics democrats are going through right now:

Americans need to stay home

versus

immigrants need to come to America.

President Trump is a genius.

House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., tweeted that Trump is the "Xenophobe in chief."

Jeffries represents the state that has forced a lockdown across the nation because it is the epicenter of this Red Chinese disease. What an idiot. Democrats order Americans to stay home while demanding we keep the door open to immigrants from all over the world.

Jennifer Rubin, the fake conservative at the Washington Post, called it racist out of habit.

No doubt Trump's base is primarily motivated by racism. This is why Trump does this. Every. Damn. Time.

Exactly what race are Canadians?

The Washington Examiner reported, "Trump suspended travel from China in January and later extended that to Europe after Italy and other countries experienced large outbreaks of the flu-like illness. Travel to Iran, which has been devastated by the virus, was also prohibited."

But why would anyone want to come here? According to the New York Times, we are leading the world in COVID-19 deaths. And according to Hillary we are sexist, racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.

NBC reported, "Immigration to the U.S. is already functionally shut down. The Trump administration had closed the U.S.-Canada border and started deporting asylum-seekers and other migrants on the Southern border without due process. International air travel has largely been suspended."

Both Canada and Mexico agreed to close their borders as well.

The Associated Press reported, "Due to the pandemic, almost all visa processing by the State Department, including immigrant visas, has been suspended for weeks."

So we have a de facto closure of our borders. The president will make it formal.

Via Politico Democrat Congressman Joaquin Castro said, "This action is not only an attempt to divert attention away from Trump’s failure to stop the spread of the corona virus and save lives, but an authoritarian-like move to take advantage of a crisis and advance his anti-immigrant agenda. We must come together to reject his division."

He is the chairman of the racist Hispanics-only Caucus. Democrat Senator Kamala Harris and others also condemned the ban. These are the same people who demand that Americans shelter in place. If it is a crime to skateboard in California for fear of spreading this disease, why is it OK to migrate?
