"Health experts" dont know shit about taxes and money. The Democrats have been stating trump is racist for precautions on coronavirus. How convenient to play all sides, yet have zero to contribute. Bernie 2020? Lol, fuck off.
This has nothing to do with the Democrats. It’s health professionals making these claims.

Ya, fuck the Centre for Disease Control!

In its 2020 budget the Trump administration proposed a further 10% cutin CDC funding, equivalent to $750m. It zeroed out funding for epidemiology and laboratory capacity at state and local levels

Trump’s reckless coronavirus statements put the entire US at risk

This morning, President Trump seems to have wished a vaccine for the new coronavirus into existence. “I think that whole situation will start working out,” he told reporters at a press conference in India. “We’re very close to a vaccine.”

At a Senate hearing that same day, Trump’s acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf took a similar line, promising a vaccine would be ready within “several months.”

“You’re telling me we’re months away from having a vaccine?” asked Senator John Kennedy (R-LA). “That’s your testimony as head of the Department of Homeland Security?”

“That’s what I’ve been told by HHS and CDC, yes,” Wolf responded.
The CDC estimates that a vaccine for the new coronavirus is unlikely to be available in the next 12-18 months, far too late to be useful in preventing an outbreak in the US. Asked about the ambitious estimate in the same hearing, HHS Secretary Alex Azar said simply, “that’s never happened in human history.”

You're not aware that every governmental office has bias and is controlled by swamp creatures? Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseasesat the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for example is Rod Rosenstein's sister. All things are not what theynseem. Get out of your bubble and do some reading.

I haven’t heard of any cases in Mexico, Central America or South America yet... so if anything they should close their borders to the north.
Third world countries have a difficult time tracking any disease. On top of that, do some reading on who has been caught attempting to cross our southern border illegally. What's with you and not reading?

Barr says he'll make surveillance reforms after damning watchdog report


Instead, Republicans said Barr asked for a straight extension of the USA Freedom Act. Congress needs to reauthorize three provisions, including a controversial records program, known as Section 215, that gathered metadata on domestic text messages and phone calls.

They also need to make decisions on two other programs — one authorizing "roving" wiretaps and the other on lone wolf surveillance authority.

"He basically talked about a clean reauthorization of the Freedom Act," Cramer said.

Let me be clear: some of these provisions (like permission to chain on Internet calls) will likely make the chaining function more useful and therefore more likely to prevent attacks, even if it will also expose more innocent people to expanded spying. Some of these provisions (like the roamer provision) are fairly reasonably written. Some (like the changes from status quo in the emergency provision) are hard to understand as anything but clear intent to break the law, particularly given IC intransigence about fixing obvious problems with the provision as written. I’m not claiming that all of these provisions are bad for civil liberties (though a number are very bad). But all of them are (or were, for those that have already gone into force) clear expansions on the authorities and capabilities the IC used to have.

How about this...

The Trump administration wants those immigrants to come in a “legal fashion,” Mulvaney said, according to the recording.

They have never said they wanted to stop all immigration, just ILLEGAL immigration. Cut and paste works a lot better when you include all of the relevant parts not just what pushes your narrative.
It says LEGAL in the article title, one would assume anyone with any reading comprehension would understand that is what the quote is talking about.

The point is, without them, the economy will struggle to continue to grow yet a system doesn’t seem to be working fast enough to fill that need.

Keep working on the great replacement.
