In his Thanksgiving message to the American people Donald Trump came out and called for a pause in immigration to the USA from the Third World. He’s also called for the removal from the USA of all those migrants who are criminal or who are not contributing in any way to American society.
It’s a bold statement that will be welcomed by some and condemned by others. Whether this call by the President will have any immediate effect or whether this plan will be stymied by Democrat and other Leftist activists and politicians remain to be seen but it’s a bold statement of position and intention.
Here is part of Mr Trump’s statement about Third World immigration to the USA as relayed by the Daily Wire.
Even from my vantage point outside of the USA I can see that America has a huge problem with migration from the Third World. Some of these migrants have been assets to the USA because they are appreciative of what America has given them, but there are others who have brought nothing but crime, welfare claiming and religious radicalism. Too many of these more burdensome migrants appear to have come to the USA during the Biden regime and removing such individuals who came to the USA during that time could be seen as a necessary correction of a problem.
The idea of a ‘pause’ in migration from nations that have produced a lot of troublesome people might go down well with hard pressed Americans, especially working class Americans, as it is they who have to compete with these Third Worlders for jobs, welfare, healthcare, housing and much more. Working class Americans are also more likely to be in a position where they are trapped in areas where negative contributing migrants are creating troubles for these Americans and their families.
Mr Trump has made a bold statement, one that seems to be picking up praise from many on the centre right and right in the UK, but it remains to be seen whether this statement will result in actions or are mere words to enthuse Mr Trumps voter base? However the point remains is that here we have a major Western world leader who is prepared to say stuff about troublesome forms of migration that others are very wary of saying. Mr Trump has pressed the ‘remigration’ button but it is unclear at this stage whether the button he’s pushed is actually connected to any of the levers of power that could put these words into reality.
