         DHS will consider the person’s “totality of

          assets, resources, and financial status; and

          the United States is only willing to grant

          these permits to people within working age,
         who also happen to be in almost immaculate

          they’ll need healthcare. And that’s only for
         US born Americans. The good ol’ taxpayers.

         That means if you don’t have any properties,
          or relatives who are citizens of the United

          impeccable English, you’ll probably be
          deemed inadmissible.

          his most extreme actions for the very end of
          his presidency, to ensure his supporters end
