Immigration Ban to Last Up to 90 Years Days, Target Those Seeking Permanent Residency
|
[NewsMax] President Donald Trump's new executive order banning immigration to the United States will last 30 to 90 days with the chance of renewal and apply to those seeking permanent immigration status, a senior administration official said on Tuesday.
Other workers such as those on so-called H-1B visas would be covered in a separate action, the official said.
By stripping that more complicated element out of the order, the official said it could be ready for Trump to sign as early as Tuesday or Wednesday.
Trump announced in a tweet on Monday night that he would be banning immigration because of the coronavirus and to protect American jobs.
Opponents saw the move as an attempt to use the crisis to fulfill a long-term Trump policy of goal of reducing legal and illegal immigration. Any move by Trump to restrict legal immigration will likely trigger legal challenges.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the order will include exemptions for people involved in responding to the coronavirus outbreak, including farm workers and those helping to secure U.S. food supplies.
The official said as the country begins to open up its economy, immigration flows were expected to increase, and the administration wanted to ensure that employers hire back fired workers rather than giving jobs to immigrants at lower wages.
