Trump's moves on immigration reveal his true motives

(CNN) - At 10:06 p.m. EST on Monday, the lives of thousands of existing and would-be immigrants to the United States were suddenly thrown into further disarray in the midst of a global crisis. At that time, President Donald Trump tweeted that in order to "protect the jobs of GREAT American citizens," he would be suspending immigration to the United States. On Tuesday evening, he provided further details, saying he would order a 60-day pause that would apply only to people seeking green cards to become permanent US residents. It was unclear whether temporary workers would be affected.

His executive order is likely to be fully drafted before the end of the week.
