Washington, June 24 (RHC)-- In immigration news, Donald Trump issued a proclamation this week  suspending any new foreign work visas through the end of 2020, including the H-1B program for high-skilled workers.  

It also extends a ban on green cards issued outside the U.S., which has been in place since April. The Trump administration cited the coronavirus pandemic, saying the move will safeguard jobs for U.S. citizens.  The order is expected to affect over half a million workers.
