Donald Trump is closing the border and suspending immigration, which is a terrible power-grab in general, but I have to ask… are there many people even trying to immigrate or visit right now, during a pandemic? [Jezebel]
Michael B. Jordan went for a morning run with no mask. [LaineyGossip]
FDA approves an at-home coronavirus testing kit. [JustJared]
I love several of these Viktor & Rolf wedding gowns! [Tom & Lorenzo]
Lala Kent is a “villain” on Vanderpump Rules, right? [Pajiba]
P*ers M*rgan is ranting about Victoria Beckham. [Dlisted]
Sarah Jessica Parker’s wacky-ass 2009 ensemble. [GFY]
Thor/Chris Hemsworth went on a vegan diet. [The Blemish]
Jason Derulo has a well-dressed dog. [Seriously OMG]
I swear to god it’s always lemons into lemonade for this assh*le.
Of course he’s using an international pandemic to push through one of his hateful little wet dreams.
Yes, we desperately need the over four thousand international medical graduates who matched into residencies and fellowships this year. They are supposed to start their new positions at hospitals around the U.S. on 7/1.
As students, would they fall under a different category than the ones he is banning? Don’t know, just wondering.
Bitch. No one wants to come here.
Right? this is a preemptive move because the fact is civilized nations will soon have us on their banned lists. We are THE epicenter of the pandemic and will remain so for the rest of the year, and highly likely we will enter 2021 still Number 1, as we like to brag!
It’s like when he wanted to put troops on the US/Canada border. No Canadian is rushing the border to get in!
I’m sure that idea will resurface though!
I know! When I saw this news, I thought, who wants to come here right now, it’s a shitshow!
*That’s* what he’s focused on? What a dumbfvck.
God, I hate him with the heat of a thousand suns.
Those wedding dresses! So pretty!
Some of them were really stunning. Ethereally beautiful.
See, the borders were closed and when we called the guy who has the key to come unlock the gate to let in the shipment of PPE that we we’re going to give to hospitals, doctors and nurses—BTW they have my name on em—beautiful, beautiful—we couldn’t get in touch with the guy because the states are in lockdown. So, see, it’s not my fault. It’s that guys fault. I don’t know who hired him. Must be a lib or at Pelosi’s house eating ice cream. Anyway, states are at fault for issuing fake lockdowns for this hoax pandemic. Did I mention that my numbers are up?
Lala Kent is a gold digger who had an affair with an ugly old rich man who she’s now engaged to, and for some weird reason she thinks that puts her above everyone else. She’s a disgusting piece of trash.
Are there many people trying to immigrate now? Yes, i am one of them. Stuck in limbo now due to my pending work visa, with no clue of how this is going to affect my future. I have many friends who are getting married or have gotten married waiting for their spousal interviews and such in the same position. This is horrid and horrific, yet i’m not surprised at all. I’m very sad today.
As the daughter of an immigrant, I’m sad for what you’re going through. Not that long ago this was a very welcoming country. My mom did have to deal with a lot of racism and xenophobia in the 50+ years she’s lived here. But she’s also made plenty of friends and found a home here and declared there’s no place else she’d rather be. I hope everything works out for you soon.
More stupidity. Even IF restrictions on immigration could help (and let’s be clear, the evidence for such measures is murky), the timeframe for it has passed a LONG time ago. It’s already here and spreading like crazy. Immigration at this point does nothing.
This does nothing. I have a close friend whose family is from Iran and go back and forth with some regularity (they are all citizens so they can’t be banned from coming in). She mentioned several times that even when the virus was running rampant in Iran, several members of her family flew into New York with no screening, no questions, no temperature checks, no nothing. So when it actually would have made sense to screen them, nobody was doing anything. But now is the time? This is pure playing to his base, nothing more.
This is funny because last week Trump stated he wanted to re-open the American/Canadian border but Canada was “hell no motherf*cker !”.
I agree with you. All countries should have shut their borders 3 damn months ago to help stop the spread. But nope…everyone was still allowed to fly around and no one checked sh*t at the airports until it was too late. Plus there are asymptomatic carriers anyways that would easily go undetected had they checked for temperatures from the beginning.
I wish all countries would just make masks mandatory for a while. If we are all covering up, it wouldn’t spread so easily.
You know what the ironic part is? Most of the “essential workers” in the food are area are immigrants or undocumented people. They are the ones providing food to the supermarkets and cooking all of the take out available. They still go out and work with the fear of being deported because, you know deportations have not stopped. I read an article of how Farm owners give hand written letters explaining why they are essential to all those people in case they get detained by immigration officers.
Is it just me, or does he look more unhealthy than usual? The contrast between the skin around his eyes (and his pale little hands) and the orange-ness is quite striking. There was speculation in the news yesterday about the state of Kim Jong-Un’s health, but Trump could be at death’s door and I don’t believe the current US government would be much less opaque about it than NK.
Well The Opening Question is so true the whole world is under Lock Down and Guess what the big man making America Greater Again is Closing the Border Links While Every Where Is closed. A big Thumbs Up to Mr Donald
Re: the at home testing kit. Ok, I got the test at one of those drive up testing centers, and they stick that swab up into your damn brain. I think it has a chemical on it, and it hurts like a mother. I can’t imagine letting the public stick a swab up their nose that far. There’s gonna be injuries. Or people won’t stick it far enough because it REALLY EFFING HURTS. For hours afterwards it hurts.
Wow. I hadn’t heard that that’s the case, all I’ve been reading is that it’s ‘unpleasant’ or ‘uncomfortable’. Sounds awful. And you’re right, I now I wouldn’t willingly do that to myself.
I’m middle aged and twice divorced. The chances of me getting married again are slim but I sure do love wedding dresses. I look at them all the time for no reason other than I find them gorgeous.
It’s too early to understand what might come of the immigration thing but it’s not just relevant to people HOPING to migrate. Some of us are here on renewable temporary visas and wondering if they’ll be renewed or not. If not, we lose our right to work and live here and have 60 days to pack up our lives and leave. Others may be a long way down an application process, having invested a lot of money in it, to see it come to nothing.
Anyone have any legitimate info on this or where to access it? My whole marriage depends on my immigration status and trying to get actual info from the international anti-Trump diatribe is impossible here in Europe. My fiance is American, I’m European, we have no idea when we’re going to see each other again and now this immigration ban? We’re losing our minds.
Best is to call the US consulate in Dublin ( you are Irish right?) As fas as i was reading Trump stops the Finance Visa, so this is out of question BUT the Irish and the US have always Special rules and agrements when it Comes to Immigration. When I married an American back in 2000 we always used the Consulate for our questions.
Thank you x
Hi, there’s no info yet on whether this will impact family-based visa applications at consulates. Consulates worldwide have already suspended most visa services since March, so we don’t even know if this is a broader suspension of services. Apparently the EO will be signed today so we’ll know more then. I have a few clients in the same boat as you (I’m an immigration lawyer) so I’ll post here once I have more info.
Thank you x
Spouses of US citizens are exempt, and the suspension doesn’t apply to non-immigrant visas like the K1.
