Trump Promises to Halt Migration from All Third World Countries After National Guard Shooting

President Donald Trump issued a forceful Thanksgiving message promising sweeping immigration actions following the reported death of a National Guard soldier ambushed in Washington, D.C. by an Afghan migrant. The message, posted just after midnight from Trump’s official X account, laid out his intention to not only block future immigration from what he called “Third World Countries” but to roll back major Biden-era admissions programs.

“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries,” Trump said, slamming the U.S. immigration system as “just plain STUPID.” He vowed to terminate the admissions of millions who entered under President Biden, especially those allegedly approved via Biden’s Autopen signature, and said his administration would begin deportations of anyone who is not a net asset to the United States.

The announcement follows a week of national outrage after two National Guard troops were shot near the White House by Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who entered the country in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome. One of the soldiers is now confirmed dead.

Trump’s Hardline Immigration Agenda

In his message, Trump outlined several dramatic measures, including:

• Ending all federal benefits and subsidies for non-citizens.

• Denaturalizing migrants who “undermine domestic tranquility.”

• Deporting foreign nationals deemed public charges, security risks, or “non-compatible with Western Civilization.”

He said his ultimate goal is “REVERSE MIGRATION” — a massive reduction in what he called “illegal and disruptive populations.”

Trump cited census data claiming that over 53 million foreign-born individuals now reside in the U.S., many of whom he alleged are receiving taxpayer-funded benefits. “A migrant making $30,000 with a green card can pull in over $50,000 in benefits,” he claimed, calling it a hidden tax burden “eating American families alive.”

Targeting Minnesota’s Refugee Crisis

The president took particular aim at Minnesota, describing it as overrun by refugees from Somalia and plagued by welfare fraud. He mocked Governor Tim Walz as “seriously retarded” and accused Representative Ilhan Omar of hating the United States.

He noted that his administration has already moved to terminate Temporary Protected Status for Somali nationals, citing fraud and abuse within the state’s nonprofit and social services systems, with billions in taxpayer money allegedly funneled to terror-linked groups like al-Shabaab through “hawala” networks.

A Message to Patriots — and a Warning to Others

Trump framed immigration as the defining issue for the future of the country.

“Our generosity has been weaponized against us,” he warned, saying only a patriotic reversal can restore the country’s safety and prosperity. “Happy Thanksgiving to all,” Trump said in closing, “except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!”

The Thanksgiving message marks one of the clearest signals yet that immigration will be a centerpiece of Trump’s 2026 campaign narrative — not just about border control, but about reshaping the entire demographic and cultural trajectory of the nation.
