Trump signs executive order to temporarily halt immigration into US

United States President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to temporarily halt immigration into the county according to teletrader news

“This will ensure the unemployed Americans of all backgrounds will be first in line for jobs as our economy reopens,” Trump noted during a press briefing, adding the move will also help preserve healthcare resources for patients across the country.

Previously, the US president announced the suspension of immigration will last 60 days in order to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the nation’s economy.

    Is he going to exclude white Russians and Russian women going to the US to have babies? What about all the US soldiers stationed overseas with foreign born wives and husbands who are not yet US citizens is he going to deny them entry or is he just going to allow white eastern Europeans from Russia? All of his wives are from Russia he loves the white Russians and all the white people from eastern Europe.

    Donald ‘Ignoramus’ Trump now telling Americans to take disinfectants to get rid of the Coronavirus. This man is a clear and present danger to the world. He should be confined to a highly secure mental facility. A MAD MAN runs the White House. We are living in scary times.

    During the 2016 campaign,Trump asked the blacks
    “What the hell you have to lose.”
    You have been voting Democrats all your life,and see your conditions.Atlease try me, if I don’t help you still would not lose anything.But I know you will not be disappointed
    Yet they voted Hillary.
    I am going to show you what he did 4 blacks.
    (1) unemployment for blacks the lowest in U.S.history
    (2) He gave millions of $ to black colleges.
    (3) He set aside billions of dollars for blacks to start their own business,this money is under the portfolio of Dr.Ben Carson.
    (4) President Trump said it’s not fair to have thousands of young blacks languishing in prison for minor offenses.He took the initiative, lobbied congress and Trump signed the bill named,Criminal Justice Reform.Now thousands of blacks are out.Trump calls it a Second Chance.
    And you are calling this man a RACIST.
    We have a saying
    “God hates an ungrateful man.”
    Next I will tell you under which president more blacks were…

      Mr Charles I think you are a Republican.10 days after Trump became President there were 900 hate incidents across America.Most Americans say Trump handling of RACE ISSUE is negative.58% of Americans say RACE RELATIONS under Trump is BAD.56% of Americans say Trump has made RACE RELATIONS worse.14% of Americans say Trump has not addressed the issue.15% say Trump has addressed the issue.13% say Trump has tried but failed.66% of Americans say since Trump became President,it is more common to express RACIST VIEWS.68% of BLACKS say being black in America hinders their ability to move ahead.In 2018 Trump said”why are we having all these people from S… HOLE countries come here”?referring to HAITI and AFRICA.You remember the incident with the jogger in Central Park in 1989?.Trump called for the DEATH PENALTY for the BLACK and LATINO young men involved.In the 70’s he refused to rent to BLACKS.Only 20% of BLACKS are allowed to work from home re COVID-19.I am American ,OBAMA was far BETTER.

    So do we have to turn everything into black and white? I am reading and unable to see racism.Over 20 plus millions are unemployed because of the virus, and these people are blacks,whites,brown purple,green, red and you can add more colors or race.All the man is saying,I would like these citizens to be re-employed first before bringing more in the country to compete with them for the jobs available. We must remember these citizens have their loans,rent and have to put food on the table,don’t talk about children to take care of.So where does racism coming from.
    I can say Thank God,because I am working just 12 hours per week and getting paid 40 hour and my other half is an R.N.but not everyone is bless like me.
    Can you remember the saying?
    “Charity begins at home.”
    He must first take care of the citizens.
    It would be unfair to bring in more people to compete 4 the jobs that will be available after the crisis is over.
    The president said it’s just 4 two months.So let’s wait & see

      JJ, most of us don’t care for Democrats including Obama either, they are cut from the same cloth.

    Anything to keep black and brown people out of the US. In his distorted mind, he wants to ‘whiten’ America as much as he can. If this unlearned man can ignite a race war all by himself, he would have done it already. During his formative years racism was an acceptable part of life, reinforced by the power structure. This evil character (Donald John Trump) reminisces for those days to be back. America’s once bright light is dimming fast. A dark and ominous cloud is hovering over the land.

      The man is working for his country plain and simple. “Black and brown” people in the US will benefit from this just like how hundreds of black people got jobs when ICE raided those factories that were employing illegal immigrants. They had to end up hiring black people living in those communities instead.

      Why are you all supporting policies that will enrich large corporations at the expense of middle class citizens? These corporations take advantage of the H1-B visas and latin-american immigrants who they can pay lower wages so they can turn a higher profit. This is what all this is about. It’s not about race. This is a lie that the media controlled by those same corporate elites made up and people ignorant of the facts are buying this nonsense.

      Bernie Sanders used to be against mass immigration because according to him open borders was a Koch brothers proposal to get cheap labour. He was right then but he’s singing a different tune now to gain democrat votes.

      That’s exactly why you need to have an Africa plan.
      Research Mr. Marcus Garvey. We all should at least start visiting, learning and research the history of Africa as more and more of it is at our fingertips(Youtube, Google, other sources), start visiting African countries instead of visiting France, Italy, europe, we now have no choice what so ever.

      Back to black incarceration.It was Bill Clinton who signed a Crime Bill in 1994 and eared him the record under his presidency more blacks were dumped in prison.It was so bad that his wife had to apologize 2 the blacks when she was a candidate.Even Biden did the same for supporting the bill.But they didn’t have to.Poor blacks will always follow democrats.
      Obama stayed 8yrs in office lamenting over black imprisonment but did nothing.BUT Trump came and right the wrong.
      The media will tell you Trump said there were good people on both sides in the trouble in Charlottesville and paint him as a White Supremacy.But they will never play or report what he said at the same time.
      “I am not talking about the NEO-NAZIS and WHITE NATIONALISTS because they should be condemned.”
      No the media will hide it from you.

    “President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to temporarily halt immigration into the county according to Teletrader News…” Mr Trump, stop Tramping on people who are in need. Where is your conscious? The USA is a country that has brought in many people from many difference states and countries who have settled in the USA. It is a diverse country. You are in no position to insult and deport “Foreigners” when you yourself were not born American nd you have been privilege to be in a decent country whereas most people want to move on to USA to gain se level of education, jobs and that they build up themselves and the USA by paying their share of taxes. Therefore this is not a free for all for those who wish to move to the USA to gain an education and jobs that they are independent in a good stable job. It is time we wake up and ask this Trump some questions of his level of intelligence, due diligence and other matters of state that we are concerned about.
    Tell Trump Get…

  7. What If?
    April 23, 2020

    Boy that Covid-19 has changed so many things that caused the world to be a far different place than the world we knew on January 1, 2020. But we have not even seen anything yet. I just feel with all that unemployment, all that death and all that bankruptcy might just change things completely to the point that some people might prefer to be in a third world country than in a first world country. So, that said let’s ponder on some what ifs: 1. What if those in the DIASPORA that came to punish us with Skerrit, find themselves in a situation where they are forced to come back home to live under the Evil they thought they planted on us? What if after two months here they feel they can take no more and can’t run? What if these same Diasporas have to go to the financial Center, not to get money but to pull Skerrit out from his comfortable seat? What if all those who hated Linton go and find him wherever he is and carry him to sit on Skerrit seat? Prepare for strange things. The worse is…

      My BAD,what is your STRESS?Domonicans have NEVER voted UWP since it was formed in 1988.in 1990 UWP 26.85%,in 1995 UWP 34.36%,in 2000 UWP 43.24%,in 2005 UWP 43.67%,in 2009 UWP 34.86%,in 2014 UWP 42.85%,in 2019 UWP 40.99%.UWP did better in 2000 and 2005,than they did in 2014 and 2019 with LINTON as LEADER.You know nothing about Dominicans living in the USA.Here is a question,Why would DOMINICANS living overseas come down to vote SKERRIT and not LINTON?I can tell you,a large number of DOMINICANS have regretted leaving,DOMINICA to settle in the USA.Most Dominicans living in Dominica,OWN their OWN homes.In the USA they either have a large MORTGAGE which will eventually be paid by,THEIR CHILDREN or they pay RENT UNTILL THEY DIE.If the UWP guy,who built the house,in BOUGEOIS CITY for ………..had to build the same thing in the USA,it would cost him about $5,000,000US.FOOLISH OVEREDUCATED MAN.Ask Linton why he did not settle in America.Ask Hector he studied at MONROE COLLEGE.

    I just wished Trump had gone a little farther by deporting all those wicked Dominicans that are not citizens of the US and went down to vote for Skerrit, whether they are students now in college or former students that are here trying to marry an American citizen so they don’t go back to Dominica. Don’t tell me all you running from the Dominica all you helping Skerrit destroy. But as is now those evil Dominicans that are pregnant and were planning to come and give birth it the US will have to go to China or Venezuela to give birth. I am only referring to those blind laborites of Skerrit.

        @ Lin Clown, All you doing is spread lies . First you said Da never voted UWP since it’s inception and you gave some bogus % of votes without the full story. Why didn’t you say that from 1985 to 2000 there were three parties? And in 2000 when they were voted out thanks to the coalition DFP/ DLP UWP increased their votes from 34k to 43k? Then in 2005 as opposition they they even got more votes? You are such a deceiver and want to blame Linton that in your analysis you said how they did better in 2000 /2005 but you failed to talk about 2009 when they had a big drop but came back in both 2014 and 2019 under Linton. One thing for sure Skerrit has not won any election as you know every single election has been stolen! His dirty money has bought every damn election! If elections were fair Skerrit would be in spending time with Lap Seng all now. Concerning house is free is another lie because I have my mortgage in Dominica. But I prefer to have a mortgage and know I have a job than to beg.
