Trump

[YTeleven]

The only thing I can think of is the EB Per Country quota and the Lottery being removed. This would be in addition to DACA.

Dems are against the WALL so NO DACA on the table as of now.

[vbollu]

If DT has so much love on legal immigraion, he could ask USCIS/DOS to move the PD for another 2-3 years.

[kkruna]

The guy justifies wall with "crisis of hearts" at the border. Don't read too much - the sentences in the tweet appear disjointed.

[HarepathekaIntezar]

Dems are against the WALL so NO DACA on the table as of now.

Wall for DACA deal was proposed by Dems last year and DT accepted it, then Stephen Miller screwed it up.

[Raj0687]

All I could think is a simple capitalistic equation like 300,000 * 10,000 USD = 3,000,000,000 USD

Dems are not just against funding the wall, but also building the wall as well, so it doesn't matter who/how it gets funded, it will be rejected.

[HarepathekaIntezar]

Dems are not just against funding the wall, but also building the wall as well, so it doesn't matter who/how it gets funded, it will be rejected.

Politics is the art of the possible..wheeling and dealing is the essence of politics. Never rule out anything bro. We are lucky to have got our GC (at least I got it), Let us give hope for our fellow suffering GC applicants.

[jimmys]

I don't think legals will have anything they need. Dems will oppose anything that favors legal immigrants including the removal of country quota. Just another day of false hope raised among legals. It will be business as usual.

[gten20]

DT does not need support from South Asians. I think he is making his case for the wall funding and DT is for legal immigration and he is not against all immigration.

Made me laugh. Good one.

[HarepathekaIntezar]

In case you missed the President’s national address last night, he read from the following email to explain why he needs five billion of your tax dollars to begin work on the wall that he promised would be paid for by Mexico:

“Dear Senor Trump,

I Am Mexican Prince in charge of Wall payments to the United States of the America. As Prince of Mexico, I am authorized to providing to you many billions of American dollar to pay for a wall.

However, all of Mexico money is currently being held in a bank under the name of former Mexican Prince and cannot be retrieved without a large security deposit of five billion dollar.

Because all of Mexico money is in this account we require a sum of five billion America dollars to provide to the bank in order to releases many more billions of dollars deposited there by former Mexico Prince.

By providing me five billion dollars today you ensure payment to you of a hundred billion dollars for the buildment of your wall! But we must act fast or the bank will acquire the sum of our funds for ever and we will be unable to move Mexico money to the America.

Again please provide five billion dollars as soon as is possible to arrange the retrieval of your deserved money!

God is blessing!

[AceMan]

I don't think you should be astonished by anything this admin throws at you. I would not be astonished if they decided to release Nov visa bulletin in Dec. Remember when a few folks got H1 approvals with backdated dates?

America needed 4 years of Trump to clear the Obama mess. American people can decide within a week if they want to let Trump win fair and square or if you want him to win the 2nd term via Supreme Court majority verdict by late December? ������

Come on Q, this is your chance, vote for the greatest President !!!

Amen to that, even if it is sarcasm. DJT is one of the greatest president this country ever had. It is sad that many people don't understand him and follow the corrupt media without doing research on their own. It is sad that, many people here in this forum do not understand that it is Trump Actions which resulted extra 120K GCs this year for EB category and most of the beneficiaries are from EB2I and EB3I. DJT and Republicans are for LEGAL immigration, while Dems are for illegal immigration as they tend to vote democrat. Trump wants merit based immigration while Dems want illegal immigration.

I couldn't agree with you more. It's mostly Trump's actions (in minimizing the pandemic and the resultant deaths of around 220k people) that we got 120k extra GCs. Glad to take it to the Politics board if you want to further discuss this, but let's keep this thread for predictions.

These are unintended consequences .. which I am sure they are trying to mitigate as we speak

The stated goal (explicitly and implicitly) of the Trump administration (TA) is massive reduction of all immigrants including legal ones. The 120K extra EB visas that you refer to is a side-effect of the administration's curbing of the consular processing abroad, resulting in spillover. It was by no means an intended policy and it remains to be seen whether all those visas will be used by the USCIS. The pandemic has been used as an excuse by the TA to curb immigration. Republicans might claim they are all for legal immigrants but we have seen the last 4 years that they have not delivered any relief.

The media might have their biases and they reflect their readership/viewership. Negative coverage or criticism is immediately labelled "fake news", while stories speaking positively of him (Fox News etc.) is deemed "real". The functioning of a liberal democracy depends on an informed citizenry and a free press. This president has tried to misinform the people and silence and discredit the press to levels seen only in autocratic nations.

The TA is one of the most corrupt governments every to rule, stemming from the fact that Trump is wholly corrupt himself, seeking only to enrich himself and his businesses, and this is reflected in his policies from the tax cuts to foreign policy. He stokes divisiveness and racism if it can help him stay in power. He has sought to destroy every norm and violated laws simply because there is no one to check him. His re-election will be the undoing of America.

There are so many red flags that it is impossible to write about all of them here. As immigrants we should lobby for fair and just treatment because we have been law-abiding all along. It is counterproductive in glorifying and getting sucked into the very politics that we as outsiders should know to avoid.

You were so much brainwashed by the media and I don't know where to start. You do not understand how this country was started and so much ignorant when it comes to facts. You are saying the TA is most corrupt government because of the media, give me an example of what corruption his administration made?
1. De-regulations and tax cuts to boost the economy?
2. Securing the borders to stop illegal immigration and human trafficking? Think about so many women and children.
3. Taking care of Vets?
4. Coming out of endless wars from the middle east and having done 3 (and more to come) peace deals? The president nominated for 3 times for the noble prize.
4. Highest unemployment rate 3.4, especially for black, Hispanic and Asian Americans?
5. 700K manufacturing jobs created when Barack Obama said you need magic wand for that (who is actually the most corrupt president in this country, along side George Bush)
8. Wages are rising and median house hold income rose.
9. Getting rid of ISIS caliphate and killing its leader?
10. Made this country energy independent, US is No.1 producer of energy now.
11. Signed favored nations law, which enables to get drugs prices lower.
12. Had the guts take on corrupt and communist China.
13. Many trade deals and replaced NAFTA with USMCA


These are just few accomplishments. You need to understand the master plan and what is going on with Globalism and going towards socialism/communism which will tear this country apart. Remember, this pandamic is planned which is part of the plan. Do some research. It is beyond me, how people can be this ignorant. You will all be future citizens some day, learn about the true history of this country and assimilate. I understand this is not a political forum, and we will keep this to immigration topics, but someone got me started and I will shut up now.

[qesehmk]

I have to admit it took me a while to understand Ace's humor!

As a matter of fact I did vote literally just now. No surprises there - voted Biden and Kamala the black tam brahm desi aunt.

Trump has got nothing to do with 120K extra visas for EB. It is a pure accident. If Trump had his way - Indians are not welcome in his America. Wake up folks.

I like NBK's post below. That's pretty much how I see things. But to be fair, there are two areas where I vehemently agree with Trump's actions - I just think those two things are out of his hatred for Obama and Obama supporters rather than out of his non-existent moral compass.

Those two things are:
1) Wars and the myth of terrorism
Trump has not initiated any new wars. He also has resisted initiating one with Iran even when tempted / prompted by usual war mongers like Graham. I totally like it. Also notice how under trump ISIS is totally gone. Because ISIS was nothing but an artificial creation of the war machine. At least that's what I think. Somehow under Trump they have gone away. (p.s. thus proving that there is no "Islamic" terrorism. It's all geopolitical games folks. Never ever stereotype people.)

2) Keeping pharmaceutical prices down.
Trump is totally after all these crooked pharmas. I like how he has forced them to give Americans better prices.

But other than these two things I think Trump is a total disaster and actually quite dangerous for not just Americans but the entire world. He has no moral compass and is completely unhinged. As I said - these two things are simply a way for him to be anti obama and distinguish himself. Look at his so called trade deals. They are not deals ... they are blackmails. That's an excellent way for destroy American empire. Those empires last that are relatively kind and just. Note the word "relatively". Anyway ... I can write pages after pages but enough said. Usually NRIs who support Trump are right wing folks from India (as you know I used to be one .... no more. American has shown me how beautiful all cultures and people are and how we should never ever stereotype people based on color religion race gender or anything else).

My comments inline:

1. De-regulations and tax cuts to boost the economy?
- FALSE. Everywhere he has helped his rich friends.
2. Securing the borders to stop illegal immigration and human trafficking? Think about so many women and children.
- FALSE. He is not worried about human trafficking. He is worried about browning of America. He is so brutal he separated children from parents as a policy.
3. Taking care of Vets?
- FALSE. Obama did that. Trump is falsely claiming credit.
4. Coming out of endless wars from the middle east and having done 3 (and more to come) peace deals? The president nominated for 3 times for the noble prize.
- Mostly TRUE. But I refuse to believe this is out of any kindness or moral compass.
4. Highest unemployment rate 3.4, especially for black, Hispanic and Asian Americans?
- Part true. But basically Trump inherited a solid economy from Obama. Tax cuts definitely spurred it.
5. 700K manufacturing jobs created when Barack Obama said you need magic wand for that (who is actually the most corrupt president in this country, along side George Bush)
- FALSE. Just look at latest data (I believe NYT published beautiful charts). All presidents have lost manufacturing jobs except bill clinton under who they grew 1.2% net.
8. Wages are rising and median house hold income rose.
- FALSE. Covid has turned American GDP as well as income with a net negative growth. But even without COVID we should not conflate stock market welfare and real median income growth. I don't think it is true. Happy to be proven wrong if you show me data.
9. Getting rid of ISIS caliphate and killing its leader?
- Mostly true. I have minor disagreement but not worth discussing.
10. Made this country energy independent, US is No.1 producer of energy now.
- FALSE. It happened under Obama. Obama is the one who spurred all kinds of alternative energy including Fracking wind etc. Under Obama US became the top oil producer and net exporter and is now on its way to becoming one of the largest if not the largest gas producer.
11. Signed favored nations law, which enables to get drugs prices lower.
- Absolutely TRUE. This is great.
12. Had the guts take on corrupt and communist China.
- FALSE. Really? Corrupt communist china? There is no way in this world you are going to put the genie in the bottle. Chinese people have woken up and China is already superpower. There is no way in the world you can be antagonistic to them and try to force them. The only way forward is cooperation and mutual interest and diplomacy. Trump is the worst person to deal with China (which is a threat if you make it to be).
13. Many trade deals and replaced NAFTA with USMCA
- FALSE. I think they all are shams. Nothing substantial signed. Trump is simply rebranding the same old thing and taking credit. Again happy to be proven wrong. Give me a summary how USMCA is better than NAFTA.

Other than this I think I have no words when educated people say that this was a planned pandemic. Folks you can plan a war but not its outcome. A pandemic is worse than a war because there is just no way to control it especially when there is no vaccine or therapy. COVID could have been an accident but this is no planned pandemic. No government would deliberately do this.

Good points made.
I wish I could only emphasize socialist progressive policies don’t make a communist nation.
The false equivalence is mind boggling.
Social security and Medicare is the biggest socialist program in the world .. yes
;the republicans literally have a war against science. DT has a war against facts in general.
Only thing matters is stock market and business loss/ gain ( not median income but profits of the corporations)His rallies speeches; debates all point to that -
he has a dog whistle ; if you don’t see it I am
Surprised
He has shown poor moral compass as well time and again
He is proven to lie all the time
I will say this ; I might be better off economically under a republican govt; but the cost of that is way too high for my
Anyways, we are stuck with whoever the American people elect. Qesehmk good to see you voted blue down the ticket.it is absolutely necessary

[inspired_p]

Knowing history and learning from it and correcting the mistakes( blunders)
OR
Knowing history and condoning it.

I prefer the first.

How America started and where it came from is not necessarily a better place; that we should aspire to bring back.

And what does assimilation even mean in this context ? Or what does assimilation have to do with this discussion ?
This sounds more like ‘ shut up and know your place’ to me

2) Keeping pharmaceutical prices down.
Trump is totally after all these crooked pharmas. I like how he has forced them to give Americans better prices.

I do not believe Trump went after big pharma, and certainly not for the sake of good public-policy; he has several vested interest in drug companies, and when he feels he directly or indirectly benefits personally (financially or politically), he will squeeze one company or drug manufacturer, and claim he is being tough on them as whole.

Just look at how he touted HCQ as a wonder-drug for CoViD-19. He has states and agencies hoard this drug for no good reason except his family is holding a mutual fund that is invested in the Sanofi (manufacturer of HCQ). He claimed that he was taking it himself, which was a complete lie. There was a mad rush from ordinary citizens to buy the drug for themselves because the president said that it works. I mean, his "beautiful" healthcare plan is always been 2 weeks away---for the last 4 years.

He is bane to all ordinary people, and boon to the corrupt swamp that operates under the cloak of "capitalism".

It is surprising that in this country you can survive and flourish without paying what you owe in millions, but can't survive if you owe a few thousand buck (most people with bad credit are low income people or who messed up their earning and savings). I guess it is no different on that aspect than India that you can borrow crores and no one asks if you default, but if you take thousands or lakhs the banks are always after you and your life.

Interesting info on Sanofi. Quite plausible! Thanks.
