In a bold and long-overdue move, President Donald Trump has once again put the safety and security of Americans first. In a major announcement on his Truth Social platform, the 45th President declared a halt to migration from a dozen high-risk countries — nations where proper vetting is either impossible or dangerously unreliable.
The decision comes on the heels of a terrifying terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, where an illegal immigrant from Egypt hurled Molotov cocktails at peaceful, pro-Israel demonstrators near the Boulder County courthouse. The attacker, shouting “Free Palestine,” is yet another grim reminder of what happens when radical ideologies and open-border policies collide.
“This attack underscores the extreme dangers posed by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted,” President Trump said in a video message. “We cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot safely and reliably vet and screen those who seek to enter the United States.”
Trump’s executive order blocks entry from 12 nations — Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. These countries have long been plagued by terrorism, chaos, and governments that either refuse or are unable to cooperate with U.S. security protocols.
This is not Trump’s first rodeo when it comes to protecting the homeland. During his first term, his travel restrictions were a key reason the U.S. avoided the kind of devastating terror attacks that plagued Europe. While left-wing pundits screamed “xenophobia,” Trump quietly delivered results. He’s now doubling down, making it crystal clear: we will not become another Europe.
“Thanks to Biden’s open-door policies, there are millions and millions of illegals in this country who should not be here,” Trump said. “In the 21st century, we’ve seen one terror attack after another by foreign visa overstayers from dangerous places across the globe.”
This latest move isn’t just reactive — it’s strategic. On day one of his return to office, Trump directed the Secretary of State to perform a comprehensive security review of the world’s most dangerous regions. The review considered terrorist activity, lack of identity verification, poor criminal record-keeping, and rampant visa overstays.
The result? A common-sense, national security-first travel restriction that adjusts based on threat levels. Countries that improve cooperation could see restrictions eased, while new nations may be added if threats emerge. It’s a smart, flexible policy grounded in the simple idea that America has the right to decide who enters her borders.
And Trump made it clear: no amount of media outrage or political grandstanding will deter him. “We will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm,” he said. “Nothing will stop us from keeping America safe.”
While the Left clings to its dangerous globalist fantasy, President Trump is once again doing what he does best: putting America First — and making sure our families don’t pay the price for Washington’s weakness.
