Corona virus: Who could be affected by US President Donald Trump's immigration ban?

Who Can Affect U.S. Immigration Ban

US President Donald Trump has decided to ban immigration and linked it to the fight against the Corona virus and the protection of jobs.

But his announcement did not make it clear what the move really meant and when it would be implemented. And whether the US president can fully implement it or not.

Critics say the US government is using this global epidemic to stop immigration.

What did Trump say?

US President Trump tweeted, "I will announce a temporary ban on immigration to the United States under a presidential decree in the wake of an unseen enemy attack and to protect the jobs of great American citizens."

But Trump has made the announcement at a time when the White House says difficult times have passed and work can be restored in the country.

Obstacles to the movement of people have severely damaged the US economy. In the last four weeks, 20 million citizens have lost their jobs. That's the same number of people hired by companies over the past decade.

According to Johns Hopkins University, there are currently 787,000 confirmed victims of Code 19 in the United States and more than 42,000 deaths.

How can immigration prevention tips be implemented?

It is unclear who will be affected by President Trump's decision or when it will take effect. The White House has not yet issued a statement.

The newspaper The New York Times has received statements from some people related to the project. According to him, one way to implement this is to stop the issuance of new green cards and work visas through a temporary order. This means that the administration will not approve immigrants' residence or work permits filed in the United States and will continue for a specified period of time.

Last month, the United States stopped checking almost all visas due to the global outbreak.

The United States has already extended border sanctions and unnecessary travel with Canada and Mexico until at least the middle of May.

Strict travel restrictions are also in place for China and Europe, but those with temporary visas and business travel are exempt.

On Monday, the United States said it would continue the deportation of immigrants along the Mexican border for at least a month.

In recent weeks, immigrants who have no documents have been deported along the US border with Mexico. Emergency options have been used to evict them. Immigration laws can be ignored with the help of public health initiatives and the expulsion process can be further accelerated.

One million people were granted permanent residency status in the United States last year. Leading countries include Mexico, China, India, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines and Cuba.

More than half of them were people whose housing status in the United States had previously been changed. That means they were already in the United States. Only 459,000 people came from abroad.

The second group is the ones that could potentially be affected by immigration restrictions.

When it comes to immigrants, the United States admitted 30,000 people in 2019. Most of them are from Congo, Myanmar, Ukraine, Eritrea, Afghanistan and Syria.

Response to the announcement

Both reactions have come as a response to President Trump's announcement.

Criticizing the ban, Democratic Senator Kamala Harris saidPresident Trump is using the epidemic to show his anti-immigration stance.

But the Republican Party has welcomed the announcement. They include Congressman Paul Gosher.

Who will be the biggest loser?

According to the BBC correspondent Justin Harper, the biggest ban on immigration can be the fastest-growing technology industry.

A large number of immigrants, especially from Asia, travel to Silicon Valley in the United States to work. Apart from Mexico and China, a large number of workers from India have joined the new population.

This could end after a temporary ban from President Trump. The purpose of their decision is to stop the spread of the virus and save American jobs.

According to the Pew Research Center, more than 100,000 immigrants come to the United States each year. However, these figures have diminished over the years.

In 2017, most of the other recruits came from India. After India, the list includes Mexico, China and Cuba.

Latha Olavath, at Newland Cheese, an immigration company, says: 'This will affect the immigration of immigrants from India and China into the US IT sector. There are a large number of refugees from these two countries around the world. '

"China and India are also involved in other sectors, and their ban on entry into the United States could lead to trade and economy diminishing."

According to the Pew Research Center, more than half of immigrants live in only three US states. These include New York, Texas, and California. California has Silicon Valley, which is home to major companies such as Google, Facebook and Cisco.

According to Shuan Ren, affiliated with the Market Research Group in China, "Trump's immigration ban will affect American technology companies, which will prevent them from hiring talented and new-minded talent."

Instead of living in the United States and expanding the technology industry here, these talented people will return to their homeland and create new things and empower them. '

American companies compete with Chinese technology companies. He is in the running to introduce new things to companies like Alibaba and Byte Dance.

"Now that the immigration ban has been lifted, talented people from China, India and other countries will be looking for jobs in other global centers instead of Silicon Valley, such as Shenzhen, Seoul and Bangalore," says Xuan Reid. They will promote new inventions and new thinking in software, hardware and semiconductors.

When President Trump announced travel bans for seven Muslim-majority countries, technology companies condemned it.

At the time, Apple chief Tim Cook said: "Apple would be extinct without immigration."

He was joined by heads of other companies, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who opposed the travel ban.

Prior to this announcement on Tuesday, the US government was considering how immigrant employees could be allowed to work under the temporary HBO program.

Pressure was mounting on policymakers that a large number of US citizens were unemployed due to the Corona virus and lockdown.

The executive order, which temporarily suspends all immigration, does not include workers in the agriculture and health sectors.

They will not include immigrants who are already in the United States.
