Donald Trump signed an Executive Order to suspend immigration across the United States amid the COVID-19 crisis. It was said that the temporary ban will last for 60 days.
On Monday, the US President shared on social media that in order to "protect" the jobs of the American public, he will sign an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the country. This has met several criticisms after.
But, despite all the objections made by several individuals, the draft was finalized the day after. The American leader then went on record to share that he did this to preserve the "healthcare resources" of the country for its citizens.
The same was also said to be true for the jobs in the country. Donald Trump asserted that he wants to ensure that the American public, especially those who are unemployed due to the crisis, will be the first ones to get the resources once the economy reopens.
According to BBC News, the Executive Order was signed on April 22. However, it comes with reservations as there are exemptions included in the order. It was also noted that further details of the suspension might be considered, as well as its extension, once the United States reopens its borders.
In a report released by Daily Mail , it was revealed that Michael Wildes seemingly "slammed" Donald Trump after he announced his plans for the said Executive Order. As shared by the report, Wildes, who is the Managing Partner at Wildes & Weinberg law firm, was the one who helped Melania Trump and her family to secure a green card in the past.
When he was asked about Donald Trump's response to the COVID-19 crisis in the country, he reportedly responded that it is "embarrassing." He was not asked, however, regarding his insight on the suspension of immigration.
Nevertheless, Michael Wildes contended that, despite his thoughts, he is not one to "criticize" Donald Trump. Besides, he is still the United States President, after all, he added.
He then went on to assert that what is left for him, as well as the rest of the public, to do, is to "step up" amid the crisis. All hands should be on deck when needed, the lawyer explained.
In the middle of his explanation, he also shared that now is not the time for everyone to "judge," especially toward the US President. He argued that the reason being is that, history will judge the response "as a nation," and not as to how the officials responded.
