Another bit of good news - President Trump is ordering a 60-day halt to immigration. Take care of our own citizens first. From The Hill:
Trump to suspend issuing green cards for 60 days
President Trump on Tuesday announced details of his executive order to suspend immigration amid the coronavirus pandemic, saying the measure would initially last for 60 days and apply to those seeking permanent residence.
Trump portrayed the action, which he first previewed in a tweet late Monday night, as an effort to protect American workers from competition overseas. He indicated during a White House briefing that there would be certain exemptions but did not elaborate.
“It would be wrong and unjust for Americans laid off by the virus to be replaced with new immigrant labor flown in from abroad,” Trump said at the briefing. “We must first take care of the American worker.”
Great news - zero problem with legal immigration. America is an awesome place and if I had not been born here, I would be immigrating. We need to not get overwhelmed though - time to put a temporary lid on the process until we get our own lives back to normal.
