President Trump, during a press gaggle on Air Force One Sunday night, didn’t mince words when it came to his "permanent pause" on immigration from all third-world countries. He confirmed the administration’s latest move is effectively without an end date.
Trump, late last week, issued a fiery declaration following the terrorist attack on two National Guard members on the streets of Washington, D.C., stating that there would be a significant crackdown on immigration from hostile or crime-ridden nations.
The attack, carried out by 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, took the life of 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom and left 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe clinging to life. Lakanwal entered the U.S. in 2021 as part of President Biden's "Operation Allies Welcome" following the botched U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Trump responded to a reporter's inquiry seeking a timeframe for the pause on immigration. In short, there is none.
"No time limit, but it could be a long time," the President stated. "We don't want those people, do you understand that?"
"You know why we don't want them?" he continued. "Because many of them are no good, and they shouldn't be in our country."

Trump further clarified what he meant by "those people," a phrase that will undoubtedly be latched onto by a media whose constant framing of everything in our country revolves around race.
"From different countries that are not friendly to us and countries that are out of control themselves. Countries like Somalia that have virtually no government, no military, no police—all they do is go around killing each other," the President said. "Then they come into our country and tell us how to run our country. We don't want them."
In addition to the move following the Afghan national terrorist attack, Trump also ripped Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for thousands of Somali nationals in Minnesota, in the wake of news involving massive fraud with taxpayer money allegedly funneled to the al-Shabaab terror group.
The President also indicated to reporters that he would "absolutely" seek to denaturalize criminal American citizens, also a necessary move in a country overrun with some of these other nations' worst individuals.

These people HATE our country, and should’ve NEVER been allowed to become “citizens”
DE-NATURALIZE AND DEPORT! pic.twitter.com/AA7p6qqowe
"We have criminals that came into our country, and they were naturalized maybe through Biden or somebody that didn't know what they were doing," Trump said.
"If I have the power to do it—I'm not sure that I do, but if I do—I would denaturalize, absolutely."
This is absolutely a hill to die on. America has been infected by violent criminals and terrorists who openly hate this nation and have no regard for the lives and liberties of its people. It's time to shut America's doors, lock them, then toss the criminals out through the window.
