WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump expanded his crackdown on foreign workers Monday, issuing a proclamation that freezes access to several types of work visas amid historically high unemployment in the United States.
The new policy is "extending and expanding" on Trump's April pause on issuing new green cards, which will continue beyond the initial 60-day period until the end of the year, according to a senior administration official.
The proclamation includes new restrictions on most H-1B, H-4, H-2B, J and L visas, with some exceptions, lasting through Dec. 31.
