White house press secretary Sean Spicer was just responding to a direct question on whether the President is likely to issue an Executive Order on the H-1B visa. Here’s his response:
With respect to h1bs and other visas, it is part of a larger immigration reform effort that the President will continue to talk about through Executive Order and through working with Congress. But you have already seen a lot of action on immigration, I think whether its that or the spousal visa or other type of visas, there is an overall need to look at all these programs, and you will see both through Executive Order and through Comprehensive Legislative measures, a way to address immigration as a whole and the visa program.
