US President Donald Trump Announces Plans to End Immigration from Third-World Countries
US President Donald Trump stated that his administration would work to permanently end immigration from all third-world countries, allowing the American system to fully recover. He made this announcement on the "Truth Social" platform, where he also affirmed that he would end all benefits and federal subsidies for "non-citizens." Additionally, he stated that he would "revoke the citizenship of immigrants who pose a threat to national security and expel any foreign citizen who is a burden to the state, a danger to security, or incompatible with Western civilization."
Trump also threatened to cancel millions of entry requests granted under the mandate of his predecessor, Joe Biden, and to "deport anyone who does not represent a real value to the United States." These statements were made as Trump presented his Thanksgiving wishes to Americans. In his post, he attacked immigrants, claiming that "most of them depend on social assistance or come from bankrupt countries, prisons, psychiatric institutions, gangs, or drug cartels."
Trump's Statements Follow the Death of a National Guard Soldier
Trump's declarations come after the death of a National Guard soldier who was shot near the White House on Thursday. Investigators claim that the shooter is an Afghan citizen who had worked with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in his country of origin and had been transferred to the United States as part of a resettlement program after the American withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Trump had previously announced that his administration had ordered the immediate halt of immigration request processing from Afghanistan and had declared a comprehensive review of the permanent residence status of immigrants from 19 countries classified as "concerning," including Afghanistan, Iran, Libya, and Yemen.
