WASHINGTON, Nov 28 (APP): U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday announced sweeping plans to tighten immigration rules, including a suspension on migration from “Third World Countries” and cancellation of all federal benefits and subsidies to “non-citizens” in the country, following the shooting of two National Guard soldiers in Washington D.C.
“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover,” he wrote on his Truth Social site.
His statement came after one of the two National Guard members shot by an Afghan citizen died Thursday, a day after shooting near the White House.
Trump criticized former president Joe Biden in the post and said he will “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 is incapable of loving our Country.”
The president also said he would end “all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.”
These goals, he said, will be pursued with the aim of achieving a “major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process.”
“Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation,” he wrote.
Taking exception to the past U.S. immigration policies, Trump said the official United States foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), and claimed that “most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
“They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form.
“They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). “
Hours after Wednesday’s shooting, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services director Joseph Edlow said in a post on X that the agency would review every immigrant holding a Green Card from a “country of concern.”
The agency also announced the immediate and indefinite suspension of all immigration requests involving Afghan nationals.
