US President Joe Biden canceled the decree of former head of state Donald Trump, which in April 2020 banned certain categories of foreigners from entering the country. RIA Novosti writes about it.
Thus, immigrants who “pose a risk to the US labor market” during the coronavirus pandemic were again allowed to enter the country.
According to Biden, his predecessor's proclamation is hindering industries in the US that draw on talent from around the world, preventing family members of United States citizens and lawful permanent residents from reuniting with their families.
On April 22, 2020, Trump signed a decree that temporarily bans immigration to the United States due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the country's economy. According to the American leader, such a measure is aimed at protecting American workers. In addition, limiting immigration will help conserve health resources, Trump added.
