The Trump administration put a hold Monday on an Obama-era policy that was designed to encourage foreign entrepreneurs to settle in the U.S. to build their companies, saying immigration officials are already overwhelmed with more important work.
It’s the latest of President Obama’s executive actions on immigration to be unwound by President Trump, and it comes a week before the new policy was to take effect.
Under the now-delayed program, foreigners who were trying to build or invest in startup companies were to be granted “parole” into the U.S., which is special permission to be here with legal status and a work permit — and a potential chance at eventual citizenship.
The Obama administration had called the parole another use of discretionary authority.

Headline wrong. It’s been delayed but not cancelled. Too bad. We need to stop any and all immigration. Period. Snort, “immigration officials are already overwhelmed with more important work.” Uh, yeah, how about they start locating the millions who have overstayed their visas and deport them.

“This is unquestionably a setback for the United States in the global race for talent - we should be encouraging innovators to bring their new ideas, expertise, and unique skills to our country".
Yeah, well, we have TOO MANY Muslims and plenty of 7-11's already, thank you. (That's racist).

Correct, delayed until March of 2018 but it will likely be cancelled altogether.

Is this the “Buy Your Citizenship” program?
To: Savage Rider
I believe it’s one of them, I understand there’s another which requires a much larger investment.

OK so Kushner’s family is pitching an existing program where if you invest a certain amount of money in a project in the U.S. then you get a permanent residency visa, and that program is continuing. But if you want to come here and start a company then we’re too busy to deal with you?
