Buried deep in the underbelly of a USA Today story from April 13 is a stunning statistic.
“About 8 in 10 support drastic steps on immigration: imposing mandatory quarantines for people who have traveled to any other country and temporarily stopping immigration from all other countries,” according to a poll by Ipsos and USA Today.
Monday night, President Donald J. Trump announced that he will order a complete halt on immigration while the United States recovers from the devastating economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!” he said on Twitter.

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) last week called for a halt on immigration so that Americans do not have to compete with foreigners for work during a time of economic hardship. So did former Attorney General and current Republican candidate for U.S. Senate from Alabama Jeff Sessions, who joined Tucker Carlson on Fox News to call for an immigration halt.

I have not heard any news/commentary from the MSM today. But I can just imagine they are having a meltdown over this. I’m sure people like Don Lemon and Rachel Maddow will have their outrage meltdowns tonight.
Since the liberal view is that this is an outrageous action by the president, I expect the liberal hosts to stage their histrionics.
Another stroke of genius by President Trump.
The media and their underlings in the Democrat party must now put themselves openly opposite most Americans. The media cannot possibly support no immigration.
A beautiful thing.
I'm not all that concerned about the flu, bro. But it is an opportunity that conservatives should take advantage. Rats do it all the time. Perhaps we should chuck some of our righteous rules of politics and get our way for a change. Alinsky rules.
Cue the pathetic “Lady Liberty is weepimg” memes...
80%? Probably higher than that.
The other 20% are Democrat congressmen and senators.
next step: tax all remittances - keep our money here.
80% means lots and lots and lots of dems, maybe a majority, are supporting this idea. Of course, their party will oppose it tooth and nail and call them skinhead nazis for supporting it. Maybe some of them will see the light.
And companies MUST give Americans preferential treatment over foreigners at job applications.
Surprisingly, it doesn’t seem to have occurred to the MSM yet that he was referring to the Deep State...
End H-1B visas!!!
80% of the public has supported reducing immigration for decades.
The Ministry of Propaganda makes people believe that is not the case.
The technical term for this is "gas lighting".
They are experts at it, taught by the CIA at manipulating the masses.
Immigration is always to the detriment of the WORKING class. The only reason for LEGAL immigration is to lower wages by increase the labor pool and to disrupt society in order to keep us on edge and distracted. It isn’t rocket science what is going on.
It’s been a chore to get people to wake up to the fact that Bush League Republicans like Grahamnesty, Rubio, Romney, Murkowsky, Hoeven, etc. are working for the same goals as the Democrats.
No more immigration until we get the 40 million illegals here now out.
They can go home and Mexico Great Again, and Columbia Great Again, and...
Temporarily? I like “forever” better.
Additionally, start deportations of all foreigners, period, with no option to ‘return’!
