Trump Announces Halt to "Third World Migration," Initiates "Reverse Migration" Policy

In a significant hardening of his immigration stance, former U.S. President Donald Trump declared on Thursday that he would halt immigration from "third world" countries and implement a policy of "reverse migration."

"Despite technological advances, immigration policy has eroded those achievements and the living conditions of many people," Trump wrote in a statement on Truth Social. "I will permanently stop migration from all third world countries to allow the American system to fully recover."

Expansive Enforcement Measures

The policy outline includes several other stringent measures, such as eliminating "all of Biden's illegal admissions" and deporting individuals who are not deemed "a net asset for the country." Furthermore, Trump proposed withdrawing federal benefits from non-U.S. citizens.

He also raised the possibility of revoking U.S. citizenship from migrants who, in his view, undermine domestic stability, stating, "I will deport any foreigner who is a public charge, a security risk, or incompatible with Western civilization."

The "Reverse Migration" Objective

According to the former president, the overarching goal of these measures is to reduce what he describes as "illegal and disruptive" populations, including those he claims entered through unauthorized and illegal approval processes. He asserts that the only way to fully correct the situation is through the application of what he terms "reverse migration," which entails the return of immigrants to their countries of origin.
