President Trump is expected to sign an expansion of immigration restrictions in the coming days in response to the economic downturn from the coronavirus pandemic -- an order that will reportedly suspend a number of guest worker programs.
Trump signed an order in April suspending some forms of immigration, citing “the impact of foreign workers on the United States labor market, particularly in an environment of high domestic unemployment and depressed demand for labor” as a reason for the restriction, as well as pressures on health care and other factors.
That order suspended, for 60 days, green cards for immigrants who are currently outside the U.S. and do not already have a valid immigrant visa. While it was criticized by Democrats and immigration activists for being part of an “anti-immigrant agenda,” it also left many restrictionists unhappy because it did not target temporary guest work visas such as the H-1B and H-2B programs, which give visas for the tech and seasonal industries, respectively.

make it permanent Trump ... win the election.
Why should spouses or family members be allowed to have jobs in the United States, when our families are training them and they are not allowed to have jobs in their countries?
common sense reigns.....Thank You Mr. President!
Exactly.
Wait until the next President tries to “unravel” the executive order. This weeks Supreme Court ruling requires any executive order reversal to travel through the “justice” system for years. Nice bed, now lie in it!
Absolutely worthless without a ban on H1B Indian scum
Trump must make immigration and a moratorium an issue... its a winner.
sucks
Re: “Trump expected to sign executive order expanding immigration restrictions”
Is there an election or something?
I just saw that Trump is cracking down on OPT student-work visas, too.
Of course, no mention of the fact that Trump allowed the number of OPT foreign workers to increase every year since he has been in office.
Be still my foolish heart. Let it be true.
Every party....has a pooper....and they all whine and stink up the place because they refuse to acknowledge any good that’s happening because it ain’t never enough....waaaaaaaaah!
