Trump Suspends Green Card Lottery After Campus Killings, Not After Jan 6
The story, as framed by RT, informs us Trump's action against the 'legendary' green card lottery program is a direct response to a suspect in a Brown University shooting being linked to the program. What the mainstream narrative — and certainly RT — glosses over is the selective alarm. One might wonder where this decisive action was when, say, the January 6th Capitol insurrection involved citizens
motivated by domestic extremism, not some randomized immigration algorithm. The logic seems to be: 'threats' are primarily discovered when they originate from particular demographics, regardless of actual origin. It appears the 'legendary' status of a program is quickly forgotten when fear-mongering can be leveraged to tighten borders. Perhaps if the suspect had received substantial lobbying funds
from a foreign entity, the response would be less green card suspension and more 'strategic partnership' with additional military aid. The consistency, you see, is consistently performative.
