President Donald Trump has issued a series of statements on his Truth Social platform that could fundamentally transform American immigration policy. He announced his intention to permanently pause migration from all “Third World Countries” to allow the “US system to fully recover,” arguing that unchecked immigration has weakened American society and strained its resources.

​Trump stated that the entry of new immigrants from these nations would be blocked until the immigration system is stabilized.

​The former President also called for “Reverse Migration” to expel immigrants who “threaten domestic tranquility” or are “not compatible with Western civilization.” He vowed to revoke the citizenship of immigrants who undermine national peace and to deport foreign nationals deemed a “public charge,” a security risk, or “incapable of loving our Country.”

​Furthermore, Trump announced an end to all federal benefits and subsidies for non-citizens. He declared immigration to be the greatest national security threat, stating his goal is to achieve a “major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations.”

​
​Following the President’s directive, USCIS Director Joseph Edlow announced a “full scale, rigorous re-examination of every Green Card” issued to nationals from 19 countries, including Afghanistan, Haiti, Iran, Somalia, and Venezuela. This action puts millions of permanent residents at risk of having their status revoked.

​The processing of all immigration applications for Afghan citizens was immediately suspended following a shooting incident near the White House involving two National Guard soldiers. Trump attributed the attack to the alleged assailant, Rahmanullah Lakhanwal from Khost province, claiming he entered the country under “Biden-era policies.”

​These proposed orders could leave millions of families in the US and prospective immigrants abroad facing severe uncertainty.
