Washington, April 23 (RHC)-- U.S. President Dponald Trump has signed an executive order suspending the processing of immigrants’ green card applications for 60 days. 

In related news, The Los Angeles Times reports millions of U.S. citizens will not receive coronavirus stimulus checks because they are married to immigrants who use an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number — an ID issued by the IRS to workers who don’t have a Social Security number.

This comes as Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is blocking undocumented college students from receiving coronavirus emergency aid.  Congress had allocated $6 billion in its stimulus package to help college students cover living expenses such as food and housing.  

The Education Department then issued a new guideline mandating the money can only be given to students who qualify for federal financial aid, meaning only U.S. citizens and some lawful permanent residents.  

One political observer said that if you're an immigrant in the United States, you are apparently considered to be less than human.
