President Trump pledges to “permanently pause migration”
from poorer nations and seeks mass expulsions by revoking legal status for
millions of immigrants.
He is calling for "REVERSE MIGRATION" and blaming
immigrants for everything from crime to housing shortages as a result of
"social dysfunction" in America.
Following the shooting of two National Guard troops who were
on his orders guarding the nation's capital on Wednesday, he made his most harsh
social media tirade against immigration since taking office again in January.
One is critically ill, while the other has passed away.
Charges are pending against a 29-year-old Afghan national
who served with the CIA during the war in Afghanistan. The suspect entered the
country as part of a resettlement program for people who had assisted American
soldiers following the country's withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Building on a 10-month drive to lower the immigrant
population, administration officials have promised to evaluate millions of
legal immigrants since the incident near the White House. The Republican
president claimed in a lengthy social media post late on Thursday that a
significant portion of America's societal problems were the fault of millions
of foreign-born individuals who now reside in the nation.
Trump ran on a platform of toughening up on illegal
immigration, and his administration's raids and deportations have upended
communities all over the nation. Schools and construction sites have been
common targets.
The president claimed
on Truth Social that "most" foreign-born Americans "are on
welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or
drug cartels," blaming them for crime that is primarily committed by
Americans. There are about 50 million foreign- born Americans, and
multitudinous studies have shown that emigrants are generally less likely to
commit crimes than native- born Americans.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the suspect, is charged with shooting
two West Virginia National Guard men, Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, and
Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, while traveling across the nation to the
District of Columbia. Wolfe is in critical condition; Beckstrom passed away on
Thursday.
The suspect, who's presently being held, was also shot,
although his injuries weren't allowed to be life- hanging .
A journalist questioned Trump on Thursday about if he
held all Afghans who entered the US responsible for the shootings.
“No, but we’ve had a lot of problems with Afghans,”
the
president said.
What legal authority would a president have to revoke millions of green cards?
A U.S. chairman lacks unilateral authority to drop millions
of green cards en masse; decisions bear personalized due process under the
Immigration and Nationality Act( INA), initiated by DHS/ USCIS via a Notice of
Intent to Rescind, followed by a hail before an immigration judge where the
government must prove grounds by clear and satisfying substantiation. Only
judges can finalize decisions, guarding legal endless residents' indigenous
rights.
Valid grounds include fraud/ misrepresentation on
operations, felonious persuasions( exacerbated felonies, medicine offenses),
public security pitfalls under INA§ 237( a)( 4)( C)( i)( e.g., adverse foreign
policy consequences certified by the Secretary of State), abandonment of
occupancy, or public charge status.
The administration claims Attorney General authority to reassess statuses anytime with" exceptional circumstances," but courts check retroactive conduct, as in Third Circuit challenges.
