被特朗普政府封鎖的外國工人不再被禁止進入美國。
April 5, 2021
Starting in June 2020 former President Trump issued a ban on foreign workers entering the United States. The ban expired last Wednesday and it will not be renewed by President Biden. Although he lifted many Trump-era restrictions when he got into office, he kept the work visa ban Trump instituted during the pandemic, upsetting many immigrant advocates. The ban affected all the skilled workers applying for H-1B visas along with their spouses applying for H-4 visas. The Trump administration claimed that this ban would save 525,000 American jobs, even though most pandemic-related layoffs happened in industries that don’t employ many foreign workers with visas.
