The move is a follow-up to signing a more narrow measure in April, according to officials in the article. The restrictions will remain in place for the rest of the calendar year and can be extended.<\/p>\n<p>The order doesn\u2019t apply to workers already in the U.S., and provides some exceptions in other cases, such as immigrants applying for visas to provide labor \u201cessential to the United States food chain.\u201d It also excludes those who the federal government determines \u201cwhose entry would be in the national interests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The visa restrictions will make more than half a million jobs available for workers already in the country, according to a senior administration official. Trump has also directed aides to work on longer term reforms to the immigration system, including a more merit-based system distributing H-1B visas based on applicants\u2019 wage offers.<br \/>\nThe expanded restrictions follow an initial executive order in April that temporarily suspended the issuance of new green cards, giving the protection of American jobs during unemployment in the pandemic as a reason.
