Despicable
Ending temporary deportation protection for 350,000 Venezuelans is despicable. These are people who left a country ruled by a dictator who quashes all forms of dissent and has dragged the economy down. They are ideal candidates for immigration to a country where they can rebuild their lives. Historically, the US has been the land of freedom. For it to pull its welcome is a major transgression. If the Statue of Liberty could weep, she would be shedding tears.

Who?
Who among the economists of the world think this is a good idea? To piss off our allies in pursuit of ephemeral gains is poor diplomacy and terrible PR. One wonders what the president is thinking.
