President Donald Trump extended certain restrictions on legal immigration and on visas that allow immigrants to temporarily work in the United States on Thursday, just hours before those restrictions were set to lapse. Trump extended the restrictions through March 31, two months after he will leave office.
In April, Trump signed an immigration proclamation targeting people outside of the US seeking to legally migrate to the US, with some exceptions. That order, which was set to lapse, was extended in June until the end of 2020 and expanded to include some guest worker visas. Citing the pandemic's continued impact on the job market as the reason for the restrictions contradicts the President's campaign trail refrain that the US was"rounding the turn" of the pandemic and his continued rhetoric that the US has done a great job handling the coronavirus -- even as the country continues to set new daily records for deaths and hospitalizations.
