Following the recent terrorist attack in Washington, DC, President Donald Trump has called for a complete halt to all migrations from third-world countries.
The streets around the White House, usually a symbol of unyielding resolve, turned into a scene of raw tragedy on Wednesday when two young National Guard soldiers—Sarah Beckstrom, 20, from West Virginia, and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24—were gunned down in cold blood. Beckstrom didn’t make it; she died from her wounds the next day, her father by her side as the news broke during a somber call with troops. Wolfe clings to life in critical condition.
The terrorist in custody, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, is an Afghan national who slipped into the country four years ago amid the chaos of the 2021 pullout, only to turn his weapon on the very protectors he once claimed to stand with.
On Truth Social, President Trump made a strong declaration (slightly edited with line breaks for clarity and emphasis added):
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.).
