Following the White House shooting, Donald Trump has announced a permanent ban on immigrants from “third world countries.” Criticizing the previous Biden government, he talked about ending illegal infiltration.
Washington: Taking tough action against immigration in the wake of the White House shooting, US President Donald Trump on Thursday announced that he will permanently ban immigrants from all “third world countries” to give the system a chance to fully recover. In a late night post on his social media handle ‘Truth Social’, Trump criticized the previous Joe Biden government for allowing “illegal infiltration” into the country and said the immigration policy has eroded the gains from technological advancements and the quality of life of many people.
He said, “Even though we are ahead in technology, immigration policy has destroyed those benefits and lifestyle for many people. I am putting a permanent ban on immigrants from all third world countries to completely get the American system back on track. I am ending the millions of illegal entries signed with Sleepy Joe Biden’s AutoPen and removing anyone who is not good for America or does not love our country. I am eliminating all government benefits and subsidies for non-citizens, expelling immigrants who disturb the peace of the country, and deporting any alien who is a burden to the country, a threat to security, or incompatible with Western civilization.”
Trump did not tell which countries would be banned
However, Trump has not made it clear which countries will be targeted in this action. He said new measures would be introduced with the goal of making major cuts to the illegal and undocumented population, including those who gained entry through the “unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process.”
“Only reverse immigration can completely fix this situation. Also, happy Thanksgiving to everyone except those who hate, steal, murder and destroy. You guys won’t be here much longer,” Trump wrote.
The announcement came just hours after the Trump administration said it would conduct “rigorous” reviews of all green cards issued to immigrants from every country of concern, following the shooting of two National Guard service members by an Afghan civilian.
The safety of the American people is most important
US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joseph Edlow said, “Trump has directed a thorough, rigorous review of every green card for every alien from every country of concern. The security of this country and the American people comes first, and the American people will not pay the price for the previous administration’s reckless resettlement policies.
This policy direction will come into force with immediate effect and will apply to requests pending or filed on or after November 27, 2025. Generally, countries like Afghanistan, Myanmar, Burundi, Chad, Republic of Congo, Cuba, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Laos, Libya, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Togo, Turkmenistan, Venezuela and Yemen are called third world countries. Trump described the shooting as a “terrorist attack.”
