Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Agreed.

 

By going to the labs.

 

Again, if you have admission to a US school, you don't line up at the border to get into the US. You get a visa in your home country using your admissions letter and your personal information. Then you can come into the country without having to wait at the border. People don't just show up at the border and show off their Stanford admission letter and say "please let me in."

Now, the Trump administration is trying to restrict the folks already here on these visas, such that they might have to return to their home countries if they gained admission into the country with one of these visas. That is potentially problematic for a variety of reasons laid out earlier in the thread.

I don't think I can make this any simpler without using crayons for you.

 

I must have missed in his statement where he said none of the immigrants are smart enough to attend Harvard or Stanford (or that they aren't smart enough because they aren't white or any other specific race). Do you understand what racism is?

 

Stop backtracking. Own it. So no one coming into our country at the border can ever go to Harvard. I guess you really love calling people who are disadvantaged not worthy of Harvard or the ivy leagues.

 

Why bother. Everyone here understands that those coming with student visas don’t present at the border and ask for asylum because they don’t need to; they can show their visa to enter. And once here, if they want asylum, they can apply. As opposed to people who come on foot and present and ask for asylum; they don’t have a way into Harvard then or yet. You need not explain yourself.

 

Mods must be eating dinner. Damn this place has gone back to where I remember it a few years ago.

 

Or they read the posts. Somehow we will see a bunch of deleted posts soon. @tilly has a vested interest because this thread is going to blow past the Chip Kelly thread if this virus keeps spreading to younger people some of whom end up in the hospital and fewer who die.

 

Now I'm confused. These posts have answered this question for you?

 

Says the guy baselessly calling people racist POS.

 

Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

113,000 deaths due to Covid-19 as of July 4. Americans can no longer travel to Europe because the infection is now out of control, in this country, the richest and most scientifically advanced in the world, and cases are spiking higher then ever. The President's biggest concern today? Appealing to base by asking the only AA NASCAR driver to apologize over something he apparently is responsible for because he is black. And of course, defending those confederate statues really takes precedence. Trump Keeping America Great.

 

95 actually has a valid point, we shouldn’t simply, limit the possibilities long term of those that come to the border. There’s nothing to say that a 10 year old there couldn’t go to Harvard or Yale. But it’s also true that in the immediate none of them are getting into colleges like that,those that might would would apply from their Home countries.
Not sure how that simple distinction turned into a multi page insult fest, but I guess folks are bored.

 

No need for reasonableness here. Begone!

 

This thread may be very lonely for a few days.

 

I didn’t call you idiotic. I said your statement was idiotic.

 

wow, i got 3 days for calling the michigan govenor a m@@@n, rhymes with boron.

 

Nobody said we should limit opportunities. @mdgator05 was speaking factually. If you already had acceptance you would get a visa, not line up to the border. He said nothing of the ability of those that do line up at the border and are granted entry.
