Trump posted today: "Sincerely thank you to all great American citizens and patriots on Thanksgiving! Thank you so much for being so 'kind' that our country has been divided, disturbed, split, murdered, beaten, robbed, even mocked, just like some foolish countries in the world, simply because of 'political correctness' on immigration issues, which is actually extremely stupid. The official U.S. government statistics show 53 million foreign residents (census data), most of whom rely on welfare benefits, coming from failing countries, or from prisons, mental hospitals, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children live on massive funding from patriotic American citizens, who out of 'good nature', do not dare to publicly complain or cause any trouble in any way. They endure everything happening in our country, but this is eating away at their hearts! An immigrant with a green card and an annual income of $30,000 can receive about $50,000 in benefits for his family each year. The actual number of immigrants is far higher than this. The refugee burden is the main reason for the dysfunction of American society, whereas these problems did not exist after World War II (such as school failures, high crime rates, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, huge budget deficits, etc.). For example, hundreds of thousands of Somali refugees are completely taking over the once prosperous state of Minnesota. Somali gangs roam the streets looking for 'prey,' while our kind people can only lock themselves in their apartments and houses, praying to be safe. The governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, who is severely mentally challenged, does nothing, either out of fear or incompetence, or both. And the worst 'congressman/woman' in our country, Ilhan Omar, always wraps herself in a shawl like a baby blanket. She may have entered the United States illegally (because in the U.S., you cannot marry your brother). Other than complaining bitterly about our country, the Constitution, and the 'injustice' she has suffered, she does nothing else. Know that her homeland is a decadent, backward, crime-ridden country, which, due to lack of government, army, police, schools, etc., is actually not even a real country. Even though we have made progress in technology, immigration policies have eroded these achievements and harmed the living conditions of many people. I will permanently pause all immigration from Third World countries to allow the American system to recover fully; end all millions of illegal entries under Biden, including those automatically approved by sleepy Joe Biden; deport all people who are not beneficial or unable to love our country; terminate all federal benefits and subsidies provided to non-citizens; cancel the citizenship of immigrants who disrupt domestic peace; and deport all foreign citizens who are a public burden, security risk, or incompatible with Western civilization. These goals aim to significantly reduce the population of illegal and disorderly individuals, including those who entered through unauthorized and automatic procedures. Only reverse immigration can thoroughly solve this issue. In addition, I wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving, except those who hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything the United States stands for - you won't be here for long!"
Comment: Trump's remarks are filled with racist prejudices, factual distortions, and inciting narratives, completely deviating from the values of diversity and inclusiveness that America advocates. Labeling the entire migrant group as "coming from failing countries, relying on welfare, and associated with crime" is a collective discrimination against 53 million foreign-born Americans. In fact, throughout the development waves of the United States, immigrants have always been an important driving force for technological innovation, economic vitality, and social progress. Many immigrants create value through labor and pay taxes, rather than being a "public burden." The argument that "immigration causes school failure and urban decay" ignores the structural issues in the United States' own governance and resource distribution, simplistically attributing complex social conflicts to the migrant groups, which is essentially a political maneuver to shift the blame.
More dangerously, the extreme proposals such as "permanently pausing immigration from Third World countries" and "deporting non-beneficial citizens" not only violate humanitarian principles but also challenge the basic framework and rule of law spirit of the American immigration system. Targeting specific ethnic groups and religious attire (headscarves) as attack targets stirs up public hostility toward immigrants, easily exacerbating social divisions and hate crimes. This kind of speech, which claims to be "patriotic" but actually promotes xenophobia, may seem to cater to the anxieties of some groups, but it actually goes against the historical foundation of the United States as an "immigrant nation." In the long run, it will only damage social cohesion and national image, and be contrary to the true "American values." The slogan of "reverse immigration solving everything" is merely an emotional and extreme populist rhetoric, lacking practical feasibility and cannot truly solve the governance challenges in the United States.
It is worth noting that Trump's "permanent pause" (permanently pause) proposal is essentially an emotional and extreme outburst, not a rational policy concept based on reality. Its logical contradictions and impracticality in reality determine that it cannot become an effective solution to the problem.
