Donald J. Trump, 45th and re-elected 47th President of the United States, delivered a sharp Thanksgiving message criticizing current U.S. immigration policies. In his statement, Trump claimed that the country has been “divided, disrupted, and overrun by crime,” describing the existing immigration system as a “disaster.”
In a lengthy social media post, Trump stated that the foreign population in the U.S. stands at 53 million, asserting that most rely on welfare. He alleged that many immigrants come from “failed nations” or are connected to criminal organizations, placing a heavy burden on patriotic American citizens.
Trump singled out Minnesota, claiming Somali refugees are “taking over” the state and that gangs are roaming the streets. He sharply criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, alleging Omar may have entered the country illegally and accusing her of speaking “hatefully” against the U.S.
Outlining his proposed policies if re-elected, Trump pledged to:
-
Permanently pause migration from all Third World countries,
-
End all illegal entries under the Biden administration,
-
Deport foreigners who are not a net asset to the U.S.,
-
Terminate federal benefits for non-citizens,
-
Remove foreign nationals deemed incompatible with Western civilization.
Trump concluded his message with a Thanksgiving greeting directed at law-abiding Americans, while warning those “who hate, steal, and destroy” that they “won’t be here for long.”
Analysts note that Trump’s statements signal a renewed hardline approach to immigration, which is likely to intensify public debate in the U.S.
