Trump says he wants to 'permanently pause migration' from poor countries: 'Only reverse migration can fully cure this situation' | Fortune
"President Donald Trump says he wants to "permanently pause migration" from poorer nations and is promising to seek to expel millions of immigrants from the United States by revoking their legal status. He is blaming immigrants for problems from crime to housing shortages as part of "social dysfunction" in America and demanding "REVERSE MIGRATION." His most severe social media post against immigration since returning to the Oval Office in January came after the shooting Wednesday of two National Guard members."
"Since the shooting not far from the White House, administration officials have pledged to reexamine millions of legal immigrants, building on a 10-month campaign to reduce the immigrant population. In a lengthy social media post late Thursday, the Republican president asserted that millions of people born outside the U.S. and now living in the country bore a large share of the blame for America's societal ills."
