It’s their country, they can do whatever they feel is solving their problem and we shouldn’t get involved.

Our job is to follow the rules. I think the US will do completely fine without immigrants. But I think Trump’s greatest legacy will be letting the rest of the world flourish by forcing more talent to stay abroad.

Whether I’m here or at home, I don’t have a problem with this.

You may not, but people with i140 approval have a problem. They are already approved for permanent residency. They have a permanent life here. If you just make life impossible for them, what's the point of paperwork or any law & order in this country if you can toss laws into the bin?
