Somehow I think this one won't last long when enough business owners are up his rear end about it. Which is funny because the Trump Org uses tons of immigrants but I guess not right now that his hotels/clubs are closed so this might be a "Well if I can't do it, NOBODY can" tantrum thing.

Not to be really cynical about things, but Trump making a move like this with immigration indicates that the tea leaves are telling trash human advisors that he needs to stoke the Southern Strategy trash fire to shore up the base. I dunno what we can infer from that, because I'm eternally guarded at this point due to being shell shocked for years, but I think it's somewhat promising if, for nothing else, he will overdo it and turn even more people off in the process.

Work visas have tine limits, IIRC, and green cards are for people who are already in the country and have been for a while.

It managed to get a black guy elected, so no...it hasn't "done nothing but reap incredible dividends". It's singlehandedly preventing the GOP from growing the party and appealing to minorities who might otherwise be conservative if it weren't for the absolute tidal wave of racism.

They already did that about a month ago paying a bit above market rate for oil.

I don't know if the strategic reserve was full after that first bailout, but if it isn't after yesterday then someone hosed up. That limits good options here other that direct bailout.

On the "positive" side of things, the oil industry actually does employ a ton of people and is central to the economies of a lot of states. So a bailout in this case actually has a chance of helping people. But bailing out some of the wealthiest companies on earth who are actively killing everyone on the planet isn't great...

This isn't true. You can get an immigrant visa having never set foot in the US. When you use that visa to enter, you are a permanent resident ("green card holder") from the moment you enter the US.
