Many top American lawmakers have urged President Donald Trump to revoke the temporary suspension of H-1B and other non-immigrant visas. President Donald Trump has extended the freeze on issuance of "green cards" for new immigrants and suspended a range of work visas for foreigners, including all H-1B and H-4 (for H-1B spouses) till the end of the current calendar year. Senator Democratic Whip Dick Durbin and Congressmen Bill Pascrell and Ro Khanna also slammed Trump's decision to bar H-1B and said that this is not the right approach. Congresswoman Donna E Shalala alleged that Trump is now attacking American businesses - and jeopardising the economic recovery - in service of xenophobia.
