The White House says American people stand by Trump as he takes common sense measures to keep jobs
Washington:
Temporary suspension of foreign work visas, including H-1B and L1, enjoyed by Indian computer professionals, is expected to free up 525,000 jobs in the United States, senior administration officials said after that President Donald Trump has issued a proclamation in this regard.
“The total sum of what these actions will do in terms of job vacancies over the rest of 2020 is around 5.25,000 jobs,” a senior administration official told reporters conference call.
“A fairly significant number, where President Trump is trying to get the Americans back to work as quickly as possible after we have suffered this blow to our economy because of the coronavirus and the harm it has done,” said the responsible.
A Trump proclamation on Monday temporarily suspended until the end of this year a number of popular non-immigrant visas, including H-1B, H-4, H-2B, J and L visas.
“The H-1B is the high-tech visa. H-4 is the spouse of some other visa holders, including H-1B and H-2B. H-2B is a bit of a low-skilled tote. The only which “The H-2B products will be those of the catering industry, which represents less than 15% of all H-2B.”
“Then, almost all J visas during work will be excluded, then all L visas. The L are intra-company transfers from, say, company X, their installation in Germany to their installation in Michigan”, a said the manager.
While preserving the integrity of the asylum system, the President has closed a number of these gaps, which, in addition to cleaning up the asylum system, will also create more jobs for Americans. “However, this is done by regulation, not by decree,” said the official.
Trump, in his lengthy proclamation, ordered the Department of Homeland Security to eliminate the work permits of those who have final removal orders, who commit crimes in the United States, or who are deportable. The category alone has more than 50,000 jobs per year that will be open to Americans, said the official.
The White House later said the proclamation was part of Trump’s “ America’s first recovery ” effort as it extended the suspension of certain visas until the end of the year to guarantee that American workers take first priority as the country recovers from economic conditions. effects of coronavirus.
Noting that Trump is extending the break on new immigrant visas until the end of the year to ensure that the United States continues to put American workers first during the ongoing recovery of the coronavirus, the White House stated that the President is building on this measure with an additional break on several non-immigrant employment-related visas-H-1B, H-2B unrelated to the food supply chain, some H-4, as well as L and some jobs preserving the J for American citizens.
Affirming that this will ensure that companies turn to American workers first when they are hired, the White House said that many workers have been injured without fault on their part because of the coronavirus and that they should not stay sidelined while being replaced by new foreign workers.
“The Trump administration has also finalized regulations to remove the incentive to file a claim for the primary purpose of obtaining a job authorization document. With a few exceptions, we must not authorize a large number of foreign workers to enter the United States at a time when so many Americans are unemployed, “said the White House.
The White House has said that the American people stand by Trump as he takes common sense measures to preserve the jobs of American citizens. “Polls show that the overwhelming majority of Americans support the suspension of immigration as we recover as a nation from the coronavirus pandemic,” he said.
A Washington Post-University of Maryland poll found that 65% of those surveyed were in favor of stopping immigration to the country, including 61% of minority respondents. A Pew Research Center survey found that 81% of Americans view mass immigration as a threat as we face the challenges posed by the coronavirus, he added.
“Democrats and liberal commentators supported such common sense efforts to protect American jobs,” said the White House.
