Washington.- U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem assured this Monday that she met with President Donald Trump to recommend that he totally ban travel to people from countries that have sent “foreign invaders” to U.S. soil, although she did not specify which nations exactly.
“I just met with the president. I recommend a total travel ban to all countries that have been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and welfare addicts,” Noem wrote in a message on social media X.
“Our ancestors built this nation with blood, sweat, and an unwavering love of freedom, not for foreign invaders to massacre our heroes, deplete our hard-earned taxes, or take away the benefits we owe to Americans. We don’t want them. Not one of them,” concludes the message from the Secretary of Homeland Security.
Suspension of Procedures for Afghans
Noem’s publication comes after an Afghan immigrant shot two members of the National Guard in Washington last week, one of whom died.
Following the attack, Trump himself announced that asylum applications are frozen until standards are tightened to review each request and that he has halted all immigration procedures for Afghan citizens, including those who had worked with US forces.
He has also threatened to “permanently” block immigration from what he has called “Third World countries,” although without specifying which states these would be.
Last June, the Trump Administration approved a total travel ban affecting citizens of Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, in addition to a partial visa suspension for people from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela.
