Trump Freezes Green Cards, Many Work Visas Until End Of Year:

President Trump on Monday extended a freeze on green cards for new immigrants and signed an executive order to suspend new H-1B, L-1, J and other temporary work visas for skilled workers, managers and au pairs through the end of the year.

The goal of the move is to protect 525,000 jobs as part of the White House response to job losses caused by the coronavirus pandemic, said a senior administration official, who spoke to reporters on the condition of anonymity. NPR first reported the impending order on Saturday.

"Americans have been hurt through no fault of their own due to the coronavirus," the official said. "And the president is prioritizing getting them back into the labor supply and getting them to work and standing on their own two feet again."

[...] But other workers will also be affected, including foreign au pairs who provide child care. Professors and scholars are not to be included in the order, the official said. There will be a provision to request exemptions. The order is not expected to affect immigrants and visa holders already in the United States.

[...] The order did not apply to H-2A agriculture workers, who Trump says are necessary to ensure grocery store shelves remain stocked with fruits and vegetables. Health care workers involved in treating coronavirus patients will also be exempt.

    a neo-nazi alt-right libertariantard incel asshole of the first, and second, degrees

    He can have my job. Sounds like he's qualified. Your bullying won't get under his skin the way it got under mine.

    What I learned about you social justice bullies is that you do not actually care about getting thos cisfemale programmers. You do not actually care about getting black programmers. When you have somebody in front of you who can check off the menstrual and black boxes, you belittle them and their experience and skills. You don't even let them fucking apply for the job.

    Here I am, another one of those incels, trying to convince management to give her a chance. NOPE! So a supposed "incel" (yeah, haven't touched a pussy in my life only because all the guys I've slept with so far have unfortunately had dicks, but maybe the next one will have a pussy, problem is I see people as more than their reproductive organs so that's more like a 3rd date topic for me) who grew up in a white supremacist house is sticking up for somebody who is qualified and simply happens to be female and black, and then you white cis scum social justice bullies have a bajillion and one excuses why her experience isn't authentic or why she's exaggerating her skills or blablabla.

    No, all you care about is bullying. All you care about is projecting your own racialism, racism, sexism, and cissexism on to people who care deeply about diversity in IT and are willing to personally take action--even affirmative action to try to correct it. Why? Because your bullying gets under their skin!

    It's top kek for you, and it distracts from your own bigotry by creating a scapegoat and excusing yourself.

    All that you do is further entrench white supremacy and patriarchy. Fuck you.

    That is the thing with socialists, every issue is but an excuse to advance an agenda. They will flip on any principle faster than you can think possible. Compare x before getting elected to x after election.

      Compare x before getting elected to x after election.

      Yeah . . .
      * BEFORE: Mexico will pay for the wall; AFTER: US Taxpayers will pay for the wall (or citizens will pay through tariffs)
      * BEFORE: Repeal and Replace ACA, no cuts to Medicare / Medicaid; AFTER: Some of ACA can stay because (shock) Republicans like it, cut Medicaid causing millions to lose insurance
      * BEFORE: Won't touch entitlement programs!; AFTER: Cut Medicaid by 25% and "reform" entitlements
      * BEFORE: Won't intervene in Syria; AFTER: Strike the Syrian regime
      * BEFORE: Drain the swamp; AFTER: staff the government and white house with lobbyists

      Many more examples easily googled.

        Major logic error here, if I say all x are y I don't imply that any not x is not y.

          Take the original line:

          That is the thing with socialists, every issue is but an excuse to advance an agenda. They will flip on any principle faster than you can think possible. Compare x before getting elected to x after election.

          I think I can simply replace socialists with Republicans and the statement is equally true.

            The Republican usually follows the announced plans, it cheats on the outcome. Also, they do not align as tightly to The One Truth. Morally speaking, that is irrelevant, both cheaters, practically speaking they are easier to decode.

    So calling people out for their racist bullshit is social justice bullying?

    Top 'kek' indeed, definitely a rand worthy rant.
