This evening, on the occasion of Gracias Day, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, issued a series of posts on his social network, Truth, which gave the thousandth victory to his tough anti-immigration policy. The Republican president promised to “permanently stop immigration from all third world countries” and “expel anyone who does not represent a useful asset to the United States.” The bottom of the message wasn’t revisiting a great narrative, but Trump wanted to radicalize his agenda by setting concrete goals.
From his mansion in Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach (Florida), where he spent the weekend, the president began attacking “politically correct” Americans, those who insulted them in every way, describing them as “stupid” when it comes to immigration. And I started mixing stable data from the census with lies and a distorted vision of the MAGA universe (Make America Great Again). “The official foreign population of the United States is 53 million people, most of them on welfare, coming from failed states, prisons, mental institutions, gangs or drug cartels,” he wrote. He continued: “They and their children are supported by huge payments from patriotic American citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, don’t want to be open about causing trouble for anyone else. They support what happened to our country, but they let it eat them alive!”
The purpose is to blame a sector of American society or residents of the United States, as has happened since the first day of his term. “This refugee burden is the main cause of social dysfunction in the United States, something that did not exist after World War II (failing schools, high crime rates, urban decay, hospital overcrowding, housing scarcity and huge deficits, etc.). For example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over what was once the great state of Minnesota. Somali gangs roam the streets in search of prey,” he began before turning around, again without escaping the insults directed at the governor of Minnesota. Minnesota, or Tim Walz, or Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who unknowingly insinuated that he entered the United States illegally.
Trump asserts that despite technological progress, Democratic immigration policy “has eroded these achievements and the living conditions of many.” He continued: “Permanently suspend immigration from all third world countries to allow the American system to fully recover, end all illegal admissions of the Biden millions (…) and expel anyone who is not a useful asset to the United States or unable to love our country,” before listing other measures. Among them, eliminating “all federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens,” stripping “immigrants who undermine domestic tranquility” of their citizenship, and deporting “any foreign national who represents a public liability, poses a threat to security, or is incompatible with Western civilization.”
