Trump's Thanksgiving message calls for a ‘permanent pause’ on immigration as he slams Tim Walz
WASHINGTON, DC: Donald J Trump reaffirmed his strict stance on immigration in a late-night Thanksgiving message on his social media platform, Truth Social. He also harshly criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Trump began his message with a greeting to his supporters: “A very happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our great American citizens and patriots who have been so nice in allowing our country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the world, for being ‘politically correct’ and just plain STUPID when it comes to immigration.”
Trump calls Tim Walz ‘seriously retarded'
Trump then attacked Governor Walz, saying, "The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both," while "the worst 'Congressman/woman' in our country, Ilhan Omar, does nothing but hatefully complain about our country."
He then focused on the population of foreign-born Americans, stating that "the official United States foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of whom are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels."
Trump claims that these people and their families receive "massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens," who, in his words, "put up with what has happened to our country, but it's eating them alive to do so."
Trump calls for permanent suspension of migration from the third world
Trump cited "failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits" as examples of how this "refugee burden" has become the "leading cause of social dysfunction in America."
He specifically mentioned Somalian refugees, claiming that "hundreds of thousands" of them are "completely taking over the once-great State of Minnesota" and that "Somalian gangs... roving the streets looking for 'prey.'
In response to the recent shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, DC, by a suspected Afghan national, Trump declared in the same post that he would "permanently suspend all migration from 'Third World Countries' and 'remove anyone who is not a net asset' to the United States."
Such broad rhetoric and policy proposals, according to observers, run the risk of painting entire communities with a broad brush and sparking contentious discussions about immigration, integration, and the social effects of broad directives.
