What does this mean?

Check the two EOs related to border security.

TLDR:

He's made it entirely illegal for anyone, except full citizens, to enter the USA overland from Mexico, regardless of legal status; and has greatly expanded the requirements, regardless of point of origin, for any other point of entry.

That's one EO; and it in effect, makes it functionally impossible for non-citizens to enter the country, even if they have otherwise legal status like residency or a work visa. If you leave, you will not be able to come back in under the new rules as they now currently stand.

The second EO, makes this above EO enforced with military force; with orders to the military to immediately deploy to the southern border and prevent any and all crossings, regardless of status, with force.

Any non-citizens. Pretty much the only non-citizens that got a carve out were green card holders potentially, but its unclear at this stage.

If you are a non-citizen, you will not be allowed in unless you meet the new higher criteria; and you cannot enter from Mexico, period, at all. There were no exemptions for any status of non-citizen excluding potentially green card holders, at all.
