US President Donald Trump said late Monday night that he will sign an executive order temporarily suspending immigration to the US, as the nation battles the health and economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

He added that the measure was done "in light of the attack from the invisible enemy," or the coronavirus pandemic, and to protect US jobs.

It's unclear what mechanism Trump will use to suspend immigration and it is also unclear how long such a suspension could last.

CNN has reached out to the White House to find out what the President means, and what effect this will have on the operation of US border crossings, and on those who already hold green cards.

At last Trump will have his ways to completely shut off immigrants from the land of opportunities. He has always wanted that policy in place, COVID-19 has offered him a helping hand.

It's well ooo

He needs to protect American lives and Jobs

You know it very temporary just like the ultra low oil prices . You don't expect people to have jobs when most businesses , factories and factors of production have been brought to a halt by the pandemic ...Your Buharis Job loss was already at 20 million before he force the NBS to stop releasing unemployment stats now for two years ...I gather the the numbers are around 30 milllion and if we factor expected losses from COVID we could be seeing over 50m job losses under your hero Buhari .....Please leave Trump and face your Buhari

Every country on earth needs smart leaders at this critical time not only superpower. But, nuclear power nations need more of intelligent, mentally stable, and good negotiators at the center of their leadership.

Trump doesn't possess any of these. His only negotiating strategy is bully and can't work at this critical time. It's on record, he assumed power when US was strong and would be leaving US as a weak, hopeless nation. Let him continue his US isolation policy

Guess now is the right time every citizens hold their respective leaders accountable. Let me see any of our government officials say there are going to look for foreign investors again...

Over to us here now in naija...
