Only rich fit “patriots” may enter the clown car
Give us only your rich and in shape immigrants; send away the tired, poor, huddled masses. Fat ol’ Trump with no sense of irony wants only the healthiest people in America, which is adorable coming from a man who slams down hamberders with his covfeve.
The Trump administration sent a fun little missive to all our embassies and consulates on Nov. 6 with a fun little new directive: Please allow only the healthiest people to come to our shores. And make sure they’re not fatsos.
Visa officers have been told they must consider a visa applicant’s health when mulling approvals, and the list of potentially disqualifying conditions is stupidly broad.
“Certain medical conditions—including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, cancers, diabetes, metabolic diseases, neurological diseases, and mental health conditions—can require hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of care,” the statement reads.
This new standard makes wealth and health the entry ticket —a policy that feels less like law and more like a bad joke written in flame-orange spray tan.
Well, it's not like we are providing any kind of universal health care to US citizens. And how in the world would they manage this? What happens if you do come to the US and then a year later you find out you have cancer? How would they track this? It is never ending nonsense.
It’s a gen-u-wine, bona fide Catch 22.
“There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind.”
You would have to be nuts to want to migrate to the US at the moment; and if you’re nuts, you’re not allowed.
While I’m on quotes from Joseph Heller’s brilliant book, I saw this:
“It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”
