The United States suspends immigration for 60 days-who is not affected?

The COVID-19 epidemic is currently prevalent in the United States, causing a very serious infection, and hundreds of thousands of people have been diagnosed. In this regard, the United States has also banned many public exchanges and closed some borders. At present, the United States has announced a moratorium on immigration. Let's see how long it will last and when it will be implemented.

The United States suspended immigration for 60 days. At the White House briefing on 2 1, the President of the United States announced that he planned to issue a 60-day executive order to suspend accepting foreign citizens to immigrate to the United States. The president of the United States said that the executive order only applies to those who apply for permanent residency, and short-term visitors will not be affected. Trump said, "By suspending immigration, we will help unemployed Americans find jobs when the US economy reopens."

Who won't be affected? According to the The Hill, the President of the United States said at the meeting that "it is wrong and unfair to let new migrant workers from abroad replace Americans who lost their jobs because of the virus" and "we must take care of American workers first".

Capitol Hill said that the above measures will include exemptions for certain groups, but it is not clear how wide the exemption will be. The president of the United States also said that farmers would not be affected.

When will it be implemented? The president of the United States said that at present, the executive order is still being drafted, but he expects to sign it on Wednesday (22nd).

Washington post said that this was an unprecedented decision, and Trump provided an economic reason for it-he thought that when millions of people lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 epidemic crisis, he hoped that Americans could return to work.

Earlier, on the evening of 20th local time, the President of the United States announced on Twitter that he would sign an executive order to suspend immigration to the United States. He wrote on social media Twitter: "Considering the influence of the invisible enemy (COVID-19) and the need to protect the employment of great American citizens, I will sign an executive order to suspend immigration to the United States!"

Robert redfield, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said on 2 1 that the United States may usher in a second wave of more serious epidemic in winter, and the overlap between the flu season and the COVID-19 epidemic may cause "unimaginable" pressure on the medical system. Redfield believes that governments at all levels should make full preparations in the past few months, including improving their detection and monitoring capabilities.
