Trump’s Immigration Earthquake – Pledges to Halt “Third World” Migration Permanently
Radical Plans Emerge Following DC Shooting: Asylum Reviews and Deportation Threats
President Donald Trump announced radical plans to overhaul the U.S. immigration system. This major announcement followed a deadly shooting in Washington D.C., where an Afghan national killed National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom. The incident intensified anti-migration rhetoric, prompting Trump to pledge a review of all asylum statuses already granted.
Permanent Pause on “Third World Countries”
In a lengthy post published late on Thanksgiving Day on Truth Social, Trump stated his intention to “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries”. His stated goal is to allow the American system to fully restore itself. He promised to terminate the “millions of illegal admissions” approved during the Biden administration.
“I will permanently halt all Third World Country migration to allow for a full reset of the American system, terminate all of the millions of illegal admissions of Biden… and deport everyone who is not a clear value to the United States”.
The former president also threatened to revoke all federal benefits and support from non-citizens and promised to deport any foreign national “who is not consistent with Western Civilization”.
Green Cards and the 19 “Countries of Concern”
In a related move on Thursday, the Trump administration also announced a review of the status of Green Card holders from 19 “countries of concern,” with Afghan nationals specifically being mentioned as targets. This list of 19 nations primarily includes countries in Africa and the Middle East, along with the post-Soviet state of Turkmenistan.
The term “Third World” is considered outdated and inappropriate today, originally referring during the Cold War to states not aligned with NATO or the Warsaw Pact. News agencies suggest the countries Trump referred to are likely the same nations whose citizens were previously restricted from entry.
Human Rights Groups Respond
The U.N.’s two refugee agencies urged the U.S. on Friday to continue admitting asylum seekers. A UNHCR spokesperson emphasized the need for proper asylum application procedures when people in need of protection arrive on U.S. territory.
Rights groups, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), expressed concern that the D.C. incident could be used as an excuse for a much broader anti-immigration crackdown. CAIR’s statement underscored that crime is personal, not collective or inherited.
Should Trump’s threats be implemented through executive action or legislation, the move would severely damage America’s reputation as an immigrant-friendly nation and is expected to face immediate legal challenges.
