Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Tuesday that President Donald Trump's plan to suspend immigration is distracting from efforts to combat the coronavirus pandemic and part of "inconsistent messages" that spread fear and put the public in "greater danger."
Trump's pronouncements about freezing immigration are "scary" for immigrants, family members hoping to immigrate to the U.S., farmers who rely on seasonal migrant workers and Canadian nurses who work in Michigan, the Democratic governor said in an interview with The Associated Press.
"These broad statements that come out I think are so problematic and counter to I think what we need right now more than anything - which is fact based scientifically proven, best practices and an optimistic vision of where we are headed and the thrust to make it a reality," said Whitmer, who said the focus should be on making swabs for testing. "This is what we need right now - not additional new things to be upset about, fearful of or mad about."
She said she worries Trump's daily televised briefings only make things worse.
"I think that the nightly briefing has yielded a lot of inconsistent messages to the public - messages that put people in greater danger," she said.

A major factor in America’s decline began August 18, 1920.
She’s all over left-friendly media. Just got herself a NYT editorial.
They’re making her the new Democrat Woman to Watch.
She is a lefty fembot tyrant-in-waiting. She cares NOT about her constituents, only about her political status. Trust her as you would a rabid pit bull.
Did anyone in Michigan actually vote for this woman?
It was made to be parodied thus.
See 26.
On any given day, “Trump is doing too much to protect America and his border controls are racist”, or” Trump is doing too little and killing people”. These people will still be howling when the President forces the economy open.
Many immigrants live in houses and apartments with many unrelated adults crammed into every room of the house. Isn’t this a major vector for the Wuhan Virus? What is she doing about this?
People have just about had it with this crap.

It means she is against immigration - against traveling outside your own "country" (house) - since that can spread disease, while being for immigration - traveling outside your own country - while opposing immigration outside their home base if they come to her pro-immigration state. Does this seem consistent?
“Gestapo Barbie”
Take a guess what middle east tribe lives around Detroit in the no enter zone.
Oh Gretchen. Just think of it as a “Stay at Home” order.
Gray Beaver! LOL!
Is that Elizabeth Warren’s supposed Indian name?
Trump took some of the wind out of the governor’s sails today when he announced that the immigration ban ( which is really just a 60 day pause) would not apply to seasonal agricultural workers to prevent impacts to food production.
If she remains true to the DNC script, she should now issue a statement crediting her resolute pushback to PDJT for forcing him to moderate his position.
