1/ A few quick notes on Trump's desperate move today to suspend most non-immigrant labor visas, starting with this:
It's a proclamation, not an executive order.
Is there a difference? Not really! Does it matter? No. Trump sure does love his proclamations though!

2/ First, the suspension of new immigrant visas (the basis for greencards) from April is extended, bc nothing says "we love immigrants, so long as they do it the right way!" like slamming the door on the "right way" for people who have already been waiting for months, if not yrs
3/ This thing is in effect until the end of 2020, at which point the administration is delusionally "assuming the conclusion of the economic contraction" even as we're facing down the barrel of a second wave, record mass unemployment, and an economy in freefall
