So much for the claim it's about "Illegal" Immigration

Your unsupported and unsupportable mere speculation remains something unworthy of credence.

yet, at the end of the day, big corporations will tell Trump no, and he'll quietly drop the policy.

President Donald Trump's plan to require green card and visa applicants to leave the U.S. and apply from their home countries will likely fail because it will trigger massive multi-year re-entry bans, paralyze the U.S. economy by removing workers, and trigger immediate litigation from civil rights advocates.

The policy falters on several practical and legal fronts:

• The Re-entry "Trap": The policy directs hundreds of thousands of people—including students, workers on H-1B visas, and spouses of U.S. citizens—to leave the country to complete consular processing. Under U.S. law, leaving the country after accruing "unlawful presence" triggers a mandatory 3- or 10-year bar on re-entry, effectively stranding applicants abroad regardless of their original legal status.
• Massive Economic and Social Disruption: Congress has historically allowed those already in the U.S. to adjust their status. Forcing over a million pending green card applicants to wait in their home countries for months or years threatens to pull essential workers from the U.S. workforce and separate mixed-status families.
• Widespread Legal Challenges: Immigration attorneys and advocacy groups argue this radical departure from the last 50 years of immigration policy goes far beyond executive authority. Experts anticipate that pushback litigation from groups like the American Immigration Lawyers Association will block or severely alter its implementation.
• Logistical Bottlenecks: Overseas U.S. consulates are already burdened with immense backlogs. Shifting nearly half a million domestic applicants to consular processing centers globally would overwhelm the Department of State's resources and stall the legal immigration system entirely.
