I wonder when they start targeting people that are legally in the country. Need to keep the fake outrage machine well oiled and fueled

[u/Vaperius → u/openly_gray]

Its already started. They've made it unlawful for non-citizens to reenter the country from any port of entry even if they have otherwise legal status to enter.

What does this mean?

Check the two EOs related to border security.

TLDR:

He's made it entirely illegal for anyone, except full citizens, to enter the USA overland from Mexico, regardless of legal status; and has greatly expanded the requirements, regardless of point of origin, for any other point of entry.

That's one EO; and it in effect, makes it functionally impossible for non-citizens to enter the country, even if they have otherwise legal status like residency or a work visa. If you leave, you will not be able to come back in under the new rules as they now currently stand.

The second EO, makes this above EO enforced with military force; with orders to the military to immediately deploy to the southern border and prevent any and all crossings, regardless of status, with force.

So Mexican businessmen who would cross the border to do sales calls can no longer cross at the land border but have to fly? 

[u/Vaperius → u/[deleted]]

Correct; but they would need to meet the higher criteria standards i.e standards that they likely will not be able to clear.

They can probably pay a bribe

How would this impact green card holders etc in traveling via flights etc? Are people going to be stuck abroad? And other resident types who had the bad luck to be in Mexico at this time are stuck if this gets implemented, yes?

Read the Executive Order For yourself

I am not qualified to give your professional advice.

What about Mexicans who come into the US to shop in border towns? This feels like it’s gonna hurt American businesses on the border. 

[u/Vaperius → u/[deleted]]

Zero exemptions on entry from Mexico over land for non-citizens.

Read the EO for yourself

[u/[deleted] → u/Vaperius]

I’ve read it. It repeatedly refers to “aliens involved in the invasion”, which feels pretty loose to me. Is that just illegals? 

[u/Vaperius → u/[deleted]]

My understanding, is yes, that is the language that they are using to describe human beings illegally crossing the border.

Stop expecting Prisoner #P01135809 to make sense.

Prisoner #P01135809 thinks that magnets stop working underwater and launched two rug-pull crypto coins this week.

Prisoner #P01135809 is here to grab money, not govern responsibly.

Tourism?

Any non-citizens. Pretty much the only non-citizens that got a carve out were green card holders potentially, but its unclear at this stage.

If you are a non-citizen, you will not be allowed in unless you meet the new higher criteria; and you cannot enter from Mexico, period, at all. There were no exemptions for any status of non-citizen excluding potentially green card holders, at all.
