Andrew Selee, President of the Migration Policy Institute, a non-partisan think tank, analyzed President Donald Trump's latest comments on migration and how his words might impact migration policy and people. Selee also shared context on immigration, asylum and crime.

"The immigrants that come to the United States tend to be very well educated. So there isn't really a correlation between poor countries and low-income immigrants, and there isn't a correlation also between low-income immigrants and crime. Low-income immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than the average American, actually," Selee said.

President Donald Trump said in a social media post Thursday he wants to “permanently pause migration” from poorer nations and said he would seek to expel millions of immigrants from the United States by revoking their legal status.

The post, which came after the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. by a man authorities identified as an Afghan national, was his most severe social media post against immigration since returning to the Oval Office in January.

The brazen daytime shooting in the nation's capital, which resulted in the death of one National Guard member and sent the other to the hospital in critical condition, has raised multiple questions.

The suspect, a 29-year-old who worked with the CIA during the Afghanistan War came to the U.S. as part of a program to resettle those who had helped American troops after U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The motive for the attack is not yet known.
