It has been 1196 days since president Donald J. Trump was inaugurated, and congress & oath-breaking judges are still blocking visa/immigration & border security reforms, & repeal of evil, unconstitutional, privacy-violating, national socialist ObummerDoesn'tCare.   Cut student, refugee, asylum, exchange, guest-work, green card visas.   Establish standards.   Conduct conscientious background investigations on visa applicants.   Terminate visa waivers.   Fence/wall all USA 🇺🇸 land-borders (1954+5524+1538=9016 miles to 1984+5524+1538=9046 miles, whatever; encyst the towns sitting across both sides the border) and improve ports to better track who enters and exits and when.

"Thus saith the Lord GOD: Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel; remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; take away your exactions from My people, saith the Lord GOD. Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah..." --- Ezekiel/ יחזקאל/ Yechezqal 45:9-
"But beware and watch yourself very well, lest you forget the things that your eyes saw, and lest these things depart from your heart, all the days of your life, and you shall make them known to your children and to your children's children -- the day you stood before HaShem our God at Horeb/Choreb... Now this is the mitzvoth, the statutes, and the ordinances, which HaShem your God commanded (Moshah/Moses/Musa) to teach you, that you might comply-with/execute/carry-out/fulfill/do them in the land to which you go to possess... Hear, oh Israel; HaShem our God, HaShem is unique. And you must love HaShem your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words, which I command you this day, must be in your heart; and you must teach them diligently to your children, and must talk about them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the path, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. And you must bind them like a sign on your hand (so you will often see them), and as a sign on your fore-head between your eyes (so others with you will often see them). And you must write them on the door-posts of your house, and on your gates (so those who enter or pass by will see them)." --- Deuteronomy/ דברים/ deberim/debrim/words/statements 4-6

  "In some cases, one 'social' segment (the Hong Kong Chinese) earns [on average] lower incomes than the national average while another segment (native-born Chinese Americans) earns [on average] more than the national average.   In the 19th century, Eastern European Jews lived in poverty, while German Jews were affluent.   Today, second-generation West Indians earn [on average] more than the national average, while native black Americans earn substantially less.   When whole 'social' segments of a group -- [on average] not just some fortunate individuals -- have above-[general-]average earnings, it is difficult to explain lower than average earning for the group as a whole by employer discrimination, if employers do not make such distinctions within the group." --- Thomas Sowell 1981 _Ethnic America: An History_ pg291 (citing Gordon F.
