The president said he would also remove people ‘incapable of loving’ the United States.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Nov. 27 that he would “permanently pause migration from all Third World countries” and remove foreign nationals who are “incapable of loving” the United States, saying the steps were necessary to allow for the U.S. system’s full recovery.
In a Truth Social post, Trump stated that while the United States has made progress in technology, the country’s immigration policy has eroded those gains and affected the living conditions for citizens.
To address this, Trump pledged that his administration would work to pause immigration from “third world countries,” suspend all federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens, denaturalize immigrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any foreigners deemed to be “a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western civilization.”
Trump also vowed to remove anyone whom the government determines “not a net asset” to the United States or is “incapable of loving” the country.
“These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal autopen approval process,” he said. “Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation.”
Trump made the post in the wake of the Nov. 26 shooting in Washington that left two West Virginia National Guard members critically injured. Sarah Beckstrom, one of the two National Guard members who was shot, died from her injuries on Nov. 27.
A suspect was identified as 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem said entered the United States in September 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, the Biden-era resettlement program launched after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The suspect who shot our brave National Guardsmen is an Afghan national who was one of the many unvetted, mass paroled into the United States under Operation Allies Welcome on September 8, 2021, under the Biden Administration.

I will not utter this depraved individual’s name.…
Trump has condemned the shooting as “an act of evil, an act of hatred, and an act of terror,” and called for a full reinvestigation of all Afghans who entered the United States under the Biden administration.
“We must now reexamine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden,” the president said. “If they can’t love our country, we don’t want them.”
