Washington DC: A day after an Afghan migrant opened fire at two National Guard service members near the White House in Washington DC, United States President Donald Trump on Thursday said that his government will permanently pause migration from all “Third World Countries”.
Meanwhile, Trump said it would conduct a “rigorous” re-examination of all Green Cards issued to immigrants from “every country of concern”. Notably, one of the National Guards injured in the shooting succumbed died on Thursday evening (local time).
US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joseph Edlow said that President Donald Trump has “directed a full-scale, rigorous re-examination of every Green Card for every alien from every country of concern”.
“The protection of this country and of the American people remains paramount, and the American people will not bear the cost of the prior administration’s reckless resettlement policies,” Edlow said in a post on X.
Here is the list of 3rd World countries from where the US will pause migration:
Afghanistan

What Trump said in his Truth Social post:
In his Truth Social post, Trump said that with the move, his administration will allow the US system to fully recover.
Trump also blamed the previous Joe Biden government for giving benefits to migrants. “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,” he said.
“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,” he added.
The US President said that measures taken by his administration will help in reduction.
These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in “illegal and disruptive populations.” He further added that reverse migration could solve the current situation arisen by illegal migrants.
“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!” Trump said.
