Trump is expected to announce a pause in issuing green cards, but backed off plans to also halt guest worker programs.

The president is expected on Tuesday evening to announce a temporary pause in the issuance of most green cards, a move that would close the United States off to tens of thousands of people seeking to join family members or accept employment during the crisis, a person familiar with the president’s plans said.

 

But Mr. Trump, who declared his intention to “suspend immigration” in a late-night tweet on Monday, has backed off plans to also halt guest worker programs that bring farm laborers, high-tech employees and others to the United States using special visas.

Business groups had exploded in anger on Tuesday at the threat of losing their access to foreign labor.

Instead, the executive order — which Mr. Trump is expected to announce during the task force briefing on Tuesday — will focus on preventing people from obtaining permission to live and work in the United States.

Last year, about one million people were granted green cards, though the order will not bar all of them. American citizens seeking to bring their children or spouses to the United States would still be allowed to do so, the person said.

But the path to winning permanent legal status in the United States would be blocked for most other foreigners, including the relatives of current green card holders and those seeking green cards based on a job offer, the person said.

Mr. Trump’s expected announcement prompted a fierce reaction from immigration rights advocates, who accused the president of using the economic fallout from the pandemic to carry out a broad assault on the nation’s legal immigration system and provide a highly volatile campaign message that will help stoke populist anger among his core supporters as he heads toward Election Day in November.

 

“This is both a political act to demagogue and distract from his awful handling of the Covid-19 crisis and lack of testing,” said Todd Schulte, the president of FWD.us, a technology group that advocates for immigration, “and it is also a policy effort by hardliners to use this crisis to enact their awful, decades-old wish list to radically slash immigration.”

But the decision not to block guest worker programs — for now — is a concession to the backlash from business groups who assailed the White House on Tuesday. Jason Oxman, president of the Information Technology Industry Council, a tech industry trade group, said in a statement earlier on Tuesday that “the United States will not benefit from shutting down legal immigration.”

Mr. Trump still could block some of the guest worker programs in a second phase of immigration restrictions because of the pandemic, the person said, but doing so will not happen immediately.
