Trump temporary immigration order exempts farmworkers

President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday temporarily banning some immigration to the U.S., saying that it would ensure that Americans would have more access to jobs and health care. The order doesn't apply to those seeking temporary visas, such as farm workers or college students.

"Other exceptions include health care professionals and their families as well as people in the EB-5 program, who invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in programs that create jobs," Zolan Kanno-Youngs reports for The New York Times. "The policy could, however, be expanded; Mr. Trump’s top cabinet officials will convene in at least 30 days to review any restrictions on “nonimmigrant visas,” including visas for seasonal workers."
