President Donald Trump of the United States announced on Thursday that his administration will "permanently pause" immigration from all "Third World Countries" in response to an incident close to the White House that he blamed on shortcomings in immigration vetting during the Biden administration.
Trump did not specify which nations he meant by "permanently pause" or "third-world countries." He stated that instances authorized during the administration of former President Joe Biden would be included in the scheme.
"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 wrote on Truth Social, his social media account.

In addition to "denaturalizing migrants who undermine domestic tranquility" and deporting any foreign person considered a public charge, security concern, or "non-compatible with Western civilization," Trump declared that he would terminate all federal perks and subsidies for "non-citizens."
Requests for comment from Reuters were not immediately answered by the White House or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Trump's remarks came after a native Guard man was shot and killed close to the White House in an ambush that officials believe was carried out by an Afghan native.

Trump has ordered a comprehensive examination of asylum cases accepted under Biden's administration and Green Cards granted to citizens of 19 countries, according to earlier statements from Department of Homeland Security officials.
According to a U.S. government document viewed by Reuters, Trump granted the alleged gunman refuge this year.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan immigrant, came to the United States in 2021 as part of a resettlement program.
Following the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, which resulted in the swift fall of the Afghan government and the Taliban taking control of the nation, Biden established the resettlement program.

Prior to the announcement, Trump asserted in a different post that hundreds of thousands of people entered the US completely "unvetted and unchecked" during what he called the "horrendous" airlift from Afghanistan.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services permanently ceased processing any immigration application pertaining to citizens of Afghanistan.
"These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations," Trump stated.
"Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation."
It is anticipated that the shooting of American soldiers by an immigrant on American grounds will have a significant impact on American politics.
Lakanwal was in the nation lawfully, yet the incident supports Trump's immigration goal.
