United States President Donald Trump has announced that his administration will permanently pause migration from all “Third World countries”.
Third World countries refer to least developed or developing nations facing significant economic, social, political, and environmental challenges— including high poverty rates, weak economies, and limited essential resources — especially when compared to more advanced countries.
Examples include Sudan, Chad, Niger, Benin, Pakistan, and Nigeria.
In a Thanksgiving message on Thursday, Trump criticised what he described as decades of failed immigration policies that have left the United States “divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at”.
He said the US foreign-born population has reached 53 million people, adding that many migrants arrived from “failed nations, prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels”.
“A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family,” he said.
“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).
“As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone.”
Trump maintained that immigration has eroded America’s progress and vowed to overhaul the system.
“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. 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 is incapable of loving our Country, 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,” he said.
“These goals 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. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for – You won’t be here for long!”
Trump’s announcement follows the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, DC.
The suspect reportedly entered the US in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome after assisting the American mission in Afghanistan, and was granted asylum last April.
