As I expected the new Trump #immigrationban is going to do nothing but keep U.S. citizens separated from spouses, kids, & parents. It's not about #covid19; it's not even credibly about the jobs/economy. It neither serves nor pleases anyone. The cruelty has always been the point.
Not that nearly anyone will be coming to the U.S. in next 60 days unless they absolutely have to, but to be clear this will apparently not do anything to slow business/pleasure/student travel or most work visas.

Just greencards, most of which go to family. Great work everyone
IMO there's no obvious necessity to stop any of these things, but keeping people from becoming permanent residents is extra super unnecessary and I'm genuinely curious as to how they're going to spin this as doing anything for either public health *or* economic protectionism
Trump will, of course, campaign hard on this. Promising to stop all Muslim immigration was such a hit! And of course he didn't do that either, but everyone knows you've gotta go bigger for the sequel.

Is it true? No. Do his voters care? Also no. Fact-based politics are so 2012.
