Trump called for pausing migration from Third World countries, deporting millions of what he termed Biden-era illegal admissions, ending federal benefits for noncitizens, and denaturalizing migrants who he said undermine domestic tranquility. He linked the plan to the recent shooting by a 29-year-old Afghan asylum seeker and broader concerns like the foreign-born population reaching 53 million, welfare costs, and issues in places like Minnesota with Somali refugees. Supporters praised the bold steps, while critics called the language inflammatory and outdated; legal experts note significant court and congressional hurdles ahead.
