川普卡卡,美國宣布暫停發放綠卡Trump Issues Executive Order Suspending Immigration

United States president Donald Trump has signed an executive order to temporarily suspend immigration applications, including the approval of some green cards. The new order is expected to last 60 days and will impact people who want to come to the US to live and work.

Mr. Trump said the order is designed to protect American workers and jobs during the coronavirus pandemic. The order also suspends the Diversity Visa Lottery, which issues about 50,000 green cards every year.

追求美國夢,是許多人離鄉背井、攜家帶眷移民美國的主因。美國自古以移民國家的精神立國,也有民族大熔爐的美譽。不過,在川普上任後,政策主張美國優先,極力限縮移民政策。

由於新冠肺炎疫情重創美國經濟,更造成全美超過上千萬人失業,在這樣的就業危機中,川普政府暫停移民的申請,宣稱是保護國人工作。這項措施將影響上萬名申請者,每年都會舉行的「綠卡抽籤」也將暫停。

不少人批評川普只是假借疫情,合理化自己排外的行為,嚴重損害移民權利。
