Trump, citing pandemic, orders limits on foreign workers, extends immigration restrictions through December

The freeze will apply to work visas that many companies use, especially in the technology sector, landscaping services and the forestry industry. It excludes agricultural laborers and some health care workers and includes a special exemption for the approximately 20,000 child-care providers who come to the United States as “au pairs.”

LOL at the special exemption for au pairs, it just tells you everything about this being purely about racist red meat for the base.

This will fuck up tech and lead to a quicker exodus to other countries (Toronto has been getting a fuck ton of it).

 

Even Twitter is pretty pissed off to make a statement about it.

 

Since trump is cutting into their bottom line, maybe it’s time for them to cut him loose?

I dated an au pair from Chile once, she was fun.

The US losing skilled tech workers is probably a good thing to Trump. After all, it means industry will go back to steam, the most powerful form of industrial technology.
