Trump also proclaimed that US citizenship should be stripped from naturalized immigrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and called for deporting those he deemed non-compatible with western civilization."
"After the Wall Street Journal warned in an editorial against blaming all Afghan refugees for the violent actions of one man, Stephen Miller, the architect of Trump's nativist immigration policy and White House deputy chief of staff, retorted on X: This is the great lie of mass migration.
