Trump to halt work visas
美国收紧工作签证发放
US President Donald Trump on Monday signed an utive order to suspend the issuance of certain temporary worker visas through the end of 2020, a move critics said would hurt the country's tech industry.
美国总统特朗普6月22日签署行政令，暂停发放部分临时工作签证至2020年年底，批评人士称，此举将损害美国科技业。
Trump's latest effort to crackdown on immigration follows his measure in April to temporarily suspend immigration to the US, which he said was aimed at protecting American jobs affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
这是特朗普最新一次打击移民的动作，今年4月他曾以保护受新冠疫情影响的美国就业率为由，采取暂停移民入境美国的措施。
The new order extends his earlier ban through Dec 30 and expands it by imposing restrictions on a variety of work visas, including the categories H-1B, H-2B, H-4, L-1 and certain J-1 visas.
新政令将其早先的禁令时间延至12月30日，并通过限制包括H-1B、H-2B、H-4、L-1和某些J-1类签证等各种工作签证，扩大禁令范围。
H-1B visas are designed for highly skilled workers, particularly in the tech industry.
H-1B签证是为高技能劳动者设计的，特别是科技行业。
It is the largest visa program of those included in Monday's order.
这是6月22日行政令中涉及的最大的签证类项目。
Trump's order was strongly opposed by those in the tech industry, who said it would harm their efforts to recruit for positions that do not have a strong applicant pool among US citizens.
特朗普的这项禁令遭到了科技行业人士的强烈反对，他们表示，这将严重影响他们招聘符合岗位的员工，而这些岗位美国本土的申请人数并不多。
