President Trump Vows To ‘Permanently Pause Migration from All Third World Countries’ After National Guard Specialist Murdered by Afghan National

On Thanksgiving, in response to the shocking murder of 20-year-old National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom ambushed by an Afghan national in Washington D.C., President Donald Trump vowed to “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries” and highlighted the violence, division and costs of the Biden administration’s lack of enforcement at U.S. Borders. “This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America,” Trump stated. Beckstrom’s colleague, 24-year-old Guardsman Andrew Wolfe, also targeted in the attack, remains in critical condition.

In his signature style, President Trump slammed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Rep. Ihlan Omar, referring to Walz as “seriously retarded” and accused Omar of immigration fraud.

In two social media posts on Truth Social, Trump promised “to permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover…”

The president wrote in full:

A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc…

“…Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. 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, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. 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. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!”

The accused Afghan National was let into the country under the Biden administration’s “Operation Allies Welcome” program, led by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, after Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. An estimated 85,000 Afghan nationals were “welcomed” into the U.S. despite a 2022 DHS Office of Inspector General report (see below) that found  “significant vetting issues” of Afghan nationals and “CBP admitted or paroled evacuees who were not fully vetted into the United States.”

In a press release on Wednesday, The Department of Homeland Security released the immigration history of Rahmanullah Lakanwal “a criminal alien from Afghanistan who shot two national guard members in a terror attack in Washington D.C.:”

“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. He should be starved of the glory he so desperately wants,” said Secretary Noem. “These men and women of the National Guard are mothers, fathers, sisters, daughters, children of God, carrying out the same basic public safety and immigration laws enshrined in law for decades. Those politicians and media who continue to vilify our men and women in uniform need to take a long hard look in the mirror. Bryon and I will be praying hard for these two National Guardsmen, their families, and every American who puts on a uniform to defend our freedom.”

The Biden Administration let this terrorist into the country as part of their Operation Allies Welcome program on September 8, 2021. This program let in thousands of unvetted Afghan nationals including terrorists into our country.

We will keep the public apprised as more information becomes available.

Trump’s response was preceded by Housing of Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner’s This announcement that HUD will launch an investigation into the integration and resettlement of Afghan refugees who may have placed in government housing.

Biden weaponized HUD as part of Operation Allies Welcome, letting a countless number of individuals into our country unchecked.

We saw the fateful result today.

In response to the terror attack, Trump has ordered an increase of 500 National Guard troops into Washington D.C. and halted all processing of immigration applications for Afghan “refugees.”

As of 2023, there were more than 58,000 Afghan immigrants residing in California, the largest population in the United States.
