just to be clear they are putting a (temporary) stop to a program the purpose of which is brain drain and bolstering americas cheapest and most exploitable labor force, a program design to make the lives of the people left behind as bad as possible and to destabilize these countries, and u think that is a bad thing?
its an interesting take, idk if u are wrong but i think u dont understand what u are actually talking about.
like i said i dont know that u are wrong just that its not that simple, people are willing to migrate for a reason things are hard and these people generally send back money to their countries for their families so idk whats best and i guess i was a bit snarky about it sorry for that. As for Haiti i think they are in as cover (the humanitarian rhetoric makes more sense if not all the countries are outright enemies of the us) or as a response the other pressures could be they are included primarily to bring more labor. As far as i know a lot of people have been faking requirements to bring people over thru this program since the start so i would guess thats purely an excuse, if it was punishment for what happen in Haiti then its weird the other countries are included, so i think its the pressure from anti immigration people, the number of people who have been migrating is very large, but its not like amerikkkans have ever been above collective punishment.
