WASHINGTON, Nov 28 — United States (US) President Donald Trump laid out a new immigration vision, declaring a permanent pause on migration from what he described as "Third World countries", Anadolu Ajansi reported.
"Even as we have progressed technologically, immigration policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many.
"I will permanently pause migration from all Third World countries to allow the us system to fully recover," he said on the Truth Social platform.
Trump also vowed to reverse many of the immigration-related policies enacted under the previous Biden administration.
The President 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."
His remarks came a day after Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal was identified as the suspected shooter in an attack that killed one National Guard member and wounded another near the White House on Wednesday.
Following the incident, the US announced that it had suspended all immigration processing for Afghan nationals.
Trump added that he will end all federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of the US and "denaturalise migrants who undermine domestic tranquillity, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or incompatible with Western Civilisation."
He framed his strategy as part of a broader effort he called "reverse migration," which he argued is necessary to restore national stability.
"These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorised and illegal Autopen approval process. Only reverse migration can fully cure this situation," Trump said.
He coupled the policy declaration with a pointed holiday message, wishing "Happy Thanksgiving" while issuing a warning to those he accused of undermining American values.
"Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for, You will not be here for long!" Trump said.
