Trump kills Obama loophole for 'illegal immigrant' ‘entrepreneurs’.....
washingtonexaminer ^ | 5/29/2018 | PAul Bedard

The Trump administration has shut down an Obama-era loophole that let immigrants who otherwise could not legally enter the U.S. claim a free pass by saying they were “entrepreneurs.”

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, part of the Department of Homeland Security, announced an end to the program, claiming former President Barack Obama overstepped his powers in creating it.

The administration also said that the program that let immigrant small businessmen and women enter was a threat to U.S. workers, a key focus of the White House.

While those let in under Obama might have felt their immigration status was open-ended, the Trump administration said it is not and at the end of their “temporary” status the immigrants will be required to return home.

Interesting buzzword.

When Starbucks bowed to the racist trespassers, they set up scholarships for “entrepreneurs”.

Build the WALL or shut down the government. That is where we ware going. Be very upset when you hear the word Border “SECURITY” , That is BS for no wall and just a bunch of nebulous crap like we have now. We want a BORDER WALL!! 100% of the WALL funded by September— just like the president has stated.

I, like many, have had their LAST cup of overpriced coffee.

Add to the list nasty Brazilians in Tampa FL who work under the table pay no taxes get all of the welfare $$$ benefits through their anchor baby adult children, then go out to dinner every night, drive fancy new trucks, threaten you, and are hired to perform housing renovations (siding, windows, stucco, roofing etc) without ever bothering to pull the required construction permits. BTW they don’t speak English either, but since when has THAT ever been a disqualifier in a sanctuary city?

Unfortunately, I can’t punish Starbucks.

I don’t even like coffee ice cream, and never darkened their libtard doorways.

There is a visa for entrepreneurs. If you’re a legitimate entrepreneur, apply for an EB-5 visa.

Your description of the under-the-table Brazilian contractors who collect welfare benefits while having fancy trucks, work without permits, etc sounds like the Irish Travelers in S Carolina, Mississippi and parts of E Texas...

You mean they can’t claim they are entrepreneurs by making bathtub cheese and get a free pass anymore?

The idea here is that under BO people who could not enter ‘legally’, came in anyway/given a pass if they simply claimed they were “entrepreneurs.” .....
This was just another one of BO’S abuses of power to bring in “illegals”....Trump shut that program down...if he had not closed that gap a wall would not have stopped them coming in under that program.

......”There is a visa for entrepreneurs”.....

Is that under this program he shut down? It doesn’t sound like the same thing as EB-5 Visas.
