President Trump said late Thursday that he intends to “permanently pause” migration from all “Third World Countries,” to allow the US to “fully recover” in a Thanksgiving Truth Social post.
“Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many,” Trump wrote late Thursday night.
“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,” he added.
]Read the whole statement. It is one for the ages.
It’s a good start but we must deport the enemies already in country.
President Trump on Truth Social:
A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. 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. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc…
The USA should never import anyone who hates our country or who is not culturally/politically compatible with America, much less import such people on a mass scale.
The mass migration championed in Europe by elites (who, it just so happens, are insulated from its effects) has… https://t.co/gynotQlb2w

Trump vows to ‘permanently pause’ migration from ‘Third World Countries’ after DC shooting
By: Max Rego, The Hill, November 28, 2025:
President Trump said Thursday he will halt immigration from “all Third World Countries” after two National Guard members were shot in Washington, D.C., earlier this week.
“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover,” the president said in a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform.
Earlier Thursday, the Trump administration said it would reexamine green cards linked to 19 countries. A June memo from the White House listed 19 countries of concern with entry restrictions: Afghanistan, Burma, Burundi, Chad, Cuba, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Laos, Libya, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Togo, Turkmenistan, Venezuela and Yemen.
The immigration policy changes come after a suspected shooter who targeted two National Guard members on Wednesday in the nation’s capital was identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national. Lakanwal entered the country in 2021 through a program for Afghans who assisted the U.S. during its two-decade war in the Middle Eastern country.
The administration announced an indefinite pause on migration from Afghanistan on Thursday.


What’s needed is a blanket moratorium on immigration with room for a certain number, a small number of individual merit-based exceptions. And if they misbehave, the people responsible for letting them in should be held responsible. And they should have legally accountable sponsors, as well That’s how it was in 1946 when my father emigrated to the U.S. .No such thing as permanent. Just until the next administration.
It’s out of control. I’ve mentioned this before but I recall two occasions when white leftists from New Zealand screamed at me for being an American, one kept shouting at me that Americans ought to be gassed. Countries with no immigration like Japan, Bhutan, Hungary don’t have these problems.
Bhutan charges money to visit and it helps if you are invited by a friend from there.
Those who come need
to be assimilated not do the assimilating after being vetted.
Are there only 19 third-world countries? Didn’t Trump and Even Obama do this before with several countries? I think Trump used Obama’s list and got pilloried for it by the Dems as he did for Obama’s detention cages on the border.
Sometimes, I think Trump’s hyperbole and exaggerations lose their weight after awhile, as happened with Obama’s red line in Syria which Trump answered the crossing of.
He wants headlines in advance of
the approaching midterms no doubt.
The Dems will call him a racist. I wonder if some of the Republicans will jump ship.
Also, you realize, even if he really was suspending all immigration from third-world countries and it withstood legal challenge phrased like that; what if the very same enemy aliens came to the U.S. from European countries to which they, their parents or their grandparents had recently immigrated and turned into third-world countries? AI Overview says attacks in the U.S. by those are rare. I hope I am not giving any of them ideas.
Right. The problem is Islam, whether the person comes from a Muslim majority country or a Muslim infested European country. Trump is trying to dodge being called a racist or Islamophobic. Too bad he is running from that label.
The real problem we face is sorting out the acceptable Muslims from the bad ones. No one is tackling that yet.

One good oxymoron deserves mention of another:
Sorry DJT, you can permanently stop something but not pause it, because, by definition, a pause leads to resumption, sooner or later.
Yes, a “permanent pause” is a contradiction in terms. This is why we cannot trust everything (or anything?) that Trump says. I think the man himself wants to do the right thing, but he has too many double-minded (and forked tongued) people around him.
