President Donald Trump says he wants to “permanently pause migration” from poorer nations and is promising to seek to expel millions of immigrants from the United States by revoking their legal status.

He's blaming immigrants for problems from crime to housing shortages in America and is demanding “REVERSE MIGRATION.”

Associated Press reporter Josh Boak says the comments came late Thursday in an unusually lengthy social media post.

“In the posts on Truth Social, Trump was very blunt. He says that immigrants are a drain on taxpayers and the sources of crime. Now, to be clear, most academic studies have found that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S. Citizens,” Boak said.

A day earlier, two National Guard members who were patrolling the streets of the nation’s capital under his orders were shot, one soldier, Sarah Beckstrom, later died.

A 29-year-old Afghan national who worked with the CIA during the Afghanistan War is facing charges.

“We are seeing a key escalation of how he feels about immigrants. While many Americans voted for him to get rid of people who came to the country illegally and deport them, he's now basically saying that people who have legal status must also go,” Boak said.
