Trump orders 'permanent pause' on third-world immigration after National Guard shooting

WASHINGTON, DC: Immigration policies tightened under President Donald Trump’s administration. On Thursday, November 27, Trump announced the suspension of migration from “third-world countries.”

In a post on Truth Social, Trump described the move as a “permanent pause” on migration, saying it was necessary to allow the US system to “fully recover.” He also declared the termination of all federal benefits and subsidies for noncitizens living in the country.

Although he mentioned “third world countries,” he did not specify which nations would fall under this category. The announcement followed a tense day at the White House, during which two National Guard members were shot.

President Trump said he would also terminate “millions” of admissions made under Joe Biden and remove “anyone who is not a net asset to the United States or incapable of loving our country.”

"I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the US system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States or incapable of loving our country," he said.

"End all federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any foreign national who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization," he added.

"These goals aim to achieve a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for – you won’t be here for long!" he concluded

White House shooting prompts tougher scrutiny on immigration

The remarks came shortly after two National Guard members were shot near the White House on Wednesday, November 26, one of whom later died. Investigators identified the attacker as an Afghan national.

Trump condemned the shooting and later addressed the nation from the White House, criticizing “disastrous” Joe Biden for allowing “20 million unknown and unvetted foreigners” into the country.

Hours after the attack, US Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph B. Edlow announced the agency would review every immigrant holding a Green Card from a “country of concern.” The agency also suspended all immigration requests involving Afghan nationals indefinitely.
