The cruelty is the point. They want people to leave so they can refuse to allow them back in. That's the goal. It's not more complicated than that.
Cruelty? Maybe people should just go back to where they came from. Or learn Chinese, and then go there. I don't think any of this is cruel.
> The cruelty is the point.
This phrase is one of those viral ear worm kinda things tossed into so many conversations, it doesn't actually mean anything at this point it's so overused.
That isn’t cruelty. It’s immigration policy that the rest of the world already has
If you come to the U.S. on a visa that’s explicitly labeled a “nonimmigrant” visa for people who are “coming temporarily to the United States to perform services,” then it’s not “cruel” to actually enforce that. Those words are literally in the law.
