    NEW YORK—President Donald Trump’s decision to suspend immigration to the Unit States for 60 days to stop those applying for permanent residency from taking American job has drawn criticism from immigration supporters who brand it a “distraction” amid the coronavirus pandemic(流行病).

“In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!” the president tweeted Monday night. Trump said he signed the executive order Wednesday. “This would ensure that unemployed Americans of all backgrounds will be first in line for jobs as our economy opens,” Trump said at Wednesday night’s coronavirus news briefing.

The president had initially wanted to suspend all immigration to the US to stop the spread of OVID-19 and “protect American jobs”, as 22 million have filed(申请) for unemployment. But on Tuesday he said his executive order would affect only some family members of US citizens seeking green cards (permanent residency IDs) and foreign workers who want to move to America.” It would be wrong and unjust for Americans laid off by the virus to be replaced with new immigrant labor flow in from abroad.” Trump said at the briefing.

The executive order won’t bar(禁止) immigrants already living in America seeking green cards, or the 85,000 workers a year given H-1B visas nor seasonal farm workers. It also will not stop people using temporary visas for work or travel.

“The Trump administration is again seeking to distract Americans from their own failures to secure testing, provide basic protections for all workers, and create a healthcare system that works for us all,” Bitta Mostofi, commissioner of the New York Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, told China Daily. He also said, “Among the l million essential workers in New York City working on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic—delivery worker, EMS staff, drivers, healthcare personnel, and more—half are immigrant.”

Former US secretary of state John Kerry told CNN that the immigration order was “a sideshow, an effort to divert people’s attention”.

At least 6 million US healthcare workers were born abroad, including 29 percent of all doctors, 38 percent of home health aides(助力) and 23 percent of retail store pharmacists(药剂师), according to the Migration Policy Institute.

    Although social media allow us to become more connected to other people than at any time in history, a new study suggests that many Americans feel lonelier than ever before, which is weakening the nation's mental and physical health.

The study conducted by the heath insurer（保险公司）Cigna, found widespread loneliness, with nearly half of Americans reporting they feel alone. or left out at least some of the time. The nation’s 75 million millennials(ages 23-37)and Generation Z adults(ages 18-22)are lonelier than older generations, Besides, 54% of people surveyed said they feel no one knows them well, and four in 10 reported they "lack companionship"，their "relationships aren't meaningful "and that they" are isolated from others. ”

Douglas Nemecek, MD, Cigna's chief medical officer for Behavioral Health, said the finding of the study suggest that the problem has become common, equaling the risks caused by tobacco and the nation’s ever-expanding waistline（腰围）. "Loneliness has the same influence on health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, while obesity（肥胖）less than 10 cigarettes a day，" he said in releasing the report.

Nemecek's comments tallied with those of other leading public health specialist, including former Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy, MD, who said loneliness should be targeted in public health campaigns like those designed to fight against smoking and obesity. "During my years' caring for patients, the worst disease I saw was not heart disease or diabetes; it was loneliness, " Murty said in a recent cover story in the Harward Business Revieres.

The new report, produced in Cigna's partnership with the polling company Ipsos, is based on an online survey of more than 20，000 US adults using the well-regarded UCLA Loneliness Scale to see how widespread loneliness is in America.
