WASHINGTON, April 21 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's new executive order banning immigration to the United States will last 30 to 90 days with the chance of renewal and apply narrowly to those seeking permanent immigration status, a senior administration official said.
Other workers such as those on so-called H1-B visas would be covered in a separate action, the official said.
By stripping that more complicated element out of the order, the official said it could be ready for Trump to sign as early as Tuesday or Wednesday.
Trump announced in a tweet on Monday night that he would be banning immigration because of the coronavirus and to protect American jobs.

(115,869 posts)because they might be carrying the virus (which would be pointless because obviously it's already very much here), what difference would their reason for coming be? Hypothetically a visitor would be just as contagious as someone seeking permanent residence. It's just another one of Stephen Miller's ideas about excluding "foreigners."
