Trump on Halting Immigration: ‘We Want To Protect Our U.S. Workers’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “We must first take care of the American worker, take care of the American worker. This pause will be in effect for 60 days. Afterwards, the need for any extension or modification will be evaluated by myself and a group of people based on economic conditions at the time. This order will only apply to individuals seeking a permanent residency. In other words, those receiving green cards, big factor, will not apply too those entering on a temporary basis. As we move forward, we will examine what additional immigration-related  measures should be put in place to protect U.S. workers. We want to protect our U.S. workers. I think as we move forward, we will become more and more protective of them. This pause on new immigration will also help to conserve vital medical resources for American citizens. A short break from new immigration, depending on the time we're talking about, will protect the solvency of our health care system and provide relief to jobless Americans."
