FORMER PRESIDENT OUTLINES MOST AGGRESSIVE IMMIGRATION PROPOSAL YET IN LATE-NIGHT POST
Donald Trump said he would “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries” as part of a sweeping immigration platform, outlining mass deportations, denaturalization efforts and strict benefit restrictions for non-citizens.
Former President Donald Trump released a new immigration statement late Thursday, saying he intends to “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries” if returned to office. The comments appeared in a post in which Trump criticized current immigration policies and blamed them for declining living standards.
Trump said the pause would allow the U.S. “system to fully recover” and vowed to terminate what he called “millions of Biden illegal admissions,” including those approved through expedited processing. He also pledged to remove migrants he considers “not a net asset to the United States.”
The message laid out additional proposals, including ending all federal benefits for non-citizens, denaturalizing migrants who “undermine domestic tranquility,” and deporting any foreign national classified as a “public charge,” “security risk,” or “non-compatible with Western Civilization.” Trump did not provide legal or procedural details on how these measures would be implemented.
Immigration experts say many of the policies Trump outlined would face immediate legal challenges, particularly those involving mass denaturalizations or broad, categorical bans on migration based on a country’s development status. Human-rights groups also warned the proposals could violate international agreements and constitutional protections.
Supporters of Trump’s approach argue that aggressive immigration controls are necessary to reduce illegal entries, stabilize the labor market and tighten national security. Critics counter that such policies rely on overly broad definitions that could impact asylum seekers, refugees, and long-term U.S. residents.
The post concluded with a controversial holiday message targeting those Trump accused of “hating” and “destroying” American values. The statement has already generated significant political reaction across both parties and is expected to remain a major flashpoint throughout the campaign season.
