Trump Says US Will Permanently Pause Migration From 'Third World Countries'

Trump Announces Halt On Migration From ‘All Third World Countries’

President Donald Trump announced that he will "permanently pause” immigration from all Third World countries and “remove” anyone who is not a “net asset” to the United States.

From Truth Social:

A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc.

Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!


Another incident to justify extraordinary use of powers. Let's just add this to the ongoing list.

Trump Says US Will Permanently Pause Migration From 'Third World Countries'

so that would seem to suggest that the younger generations do not care. The youngest baby boomers will be 62 next year the oldest will be 80. If the people in their 20s, 30s and early 40s do not see it we are the "next in line, so if anything by your logic it would be better for the YOUNGER generations to support that.
Or maybe people in their 20s, 30s and early 40s are tired of Kumbaya. Maybe they prefer the *responsibilities* a nation ought to have for it's own citizens, and they want to spread that message instead of the global sluff-off-ness of 'anything goes'.

Because if you interacted at work with a person who appeared to be female but was actually male you would go to Hell?
No. Good grief
But gender identity often explains gender role choices. And suppression of those choices may cause psychological stress which can be relieved by taking up the entire social role of the opposite gender. Why people think this is an existential threat to the Republic is beyond me.
No. It’s more about mental health than being a threat.
So how is pronouns determined by sex then? You don't observe sex directly.
Sex and gender are (mostly) related.

Trump Says US Will Permanently Pause Migration From 'Third World Countries'

The third world countries are the real threat! Wake up! They are the ones with the cartels, who use their own people to smuggle the drugs into this country, which poisons our population with mind altering substances, causing them to fail in education, lose the jobs they can get, become unemployable going forward, and then eventually, off to prison.


AI Overview

Approximately 85% of the U.S. prison population has an active substance use disorder (SUD) or were incarcerated for a crime involving drugs or drug use.

...The cycle is real. It's not all kumbaya with feeding the world's poor. We're getting destroyed here.
“We’re getting destroyed”? Who is we, the people who choose to buy drugs? Are you getting destroyed by drugs because they’re available? And who is “they”? Do you judge people by their actions or do you judge them by their race and nationality?

drug addiction affects people of all income levels.
Yes it does. But it effects certain groups more severely than other groups, and studies show that low-income areas suffer the worst fate, because that's where the drug dealers live and sell their products because it becomes their job. Again, this is a known cycle that people prefer not to acknowledge.

Hell doesn't exist and there is no eternal suffering, instead bad peolle just cease to exist

I can't answer questions which ae based on a false premise,
I asked for your beliefs about the scriptures I posted? Do you understand that question? I then asked how are we taking things out of context in those same verses? If you can't answer those than I would start to question your teachers.
then mocking me for not answering an silly nonsensical question.
It was a simple question about scriptures. You claim to have all the truth so you should be able to have an honest discussion about scripture and what your beliefs are about said scriptures. But you continually refuse to do so and resort to insults.

No, No, No, you've never posted a single verse to support your heretical theory that death means annihilation or cessation of existence, so please stop lying. You can't find any because they don't exist outside of your wild imagination.
At this point I'm not even sure if you're a Christian or a troll. And that's an honest statement. If would only explain why you continue to lie. I and others have posted scriptures, you can look back on this thread and see them. Even you posted scriptures that point to our argument, not yours.

Here once again are just a few-

Malachi 4:1 "For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave then neither root nor branch.

God is making it very clear that there will be nothing left.

Malachi 4:3 "And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts."

Destroy in the Hebrew shamad
1. to desolate

Strong's Exhaustive Concordance
destruction, bring to nothing, overthrow, perish, pluck down, utterly
A primitive root; to desolate -- destroy(- uction), bring to nought, overthrow, perish, pluck down, X utterly.


Psalms 145:20 "The Lord preserveth all them that love Him: But all the wicked will He destroy."


Psalms 37:20
"But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

Once again, God can't be any more clear. The wicked will consume away, into smoke, shall they consume away. You can try and work around these verses but again, you put them all together and with Christ's teaching it tells us without a doubt what will happen to the wicked.


Psalms 37:38 "But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: The end of the wicked shall be cut off.

M
atthew 10:28 "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

II Thessalonians 1:9 "Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;"


But if one wants to redefine certain words and add to God's Word to believe in a doctrine, have at it. I try to always take the bible as a whole and even common sense goes a long way when in reading the Word, we see and learn the very nature of God.

But I'm a born again Christian, who doesn't need to check anything because I know the truth of the gospel already.
Wow, ever heard of the word humility?

Paul told us to test "all things" Are you above Paul? The Word of God should always be our standard, yes even verses our teachers. Christ also taught against false shepherds.

So before you go checking to see if those things are so, how about you first join a bible class for beginners so you can at least learn the basics.
Why so I can come away with the milk of God's Word? Something I was fed over and over in churches. Paul states we are to move past that.

Do you not really feel equipped to handle at lease some of God's Word on your own? I've learned more on my own than I did years sitting on a church pew- that's the problem with so many. Am I still growing in the Word? I believe so and hopefully I will continue to do so as I study every day. But I have at least read it in it's entirety, something I'm seriously doubting you have done. If you had you would be able to have a honest biblical discussion without resorting to insults, judgement, etc.

Do you keep the Sabbath? (poll)

I have presented my arguments with Scripture, you have presented your arguments with your own words. Again Jesus never fulfilled the Sabbath so we can profane it, just like He didn't fulfil the other 9 commandments so we can stay in our sins where there remains no more sacrifice Hen10:26-30 Why He told us not to break the least of these commandments or teach others to, and in doing so comes with a pretty serious warning in my view Mat5:19-30

There is no such thing as the Jewish Sabbath. People use this to try to lower what the Sabbath is really about- God's holy day, the holy day of the Lord thy God thus saith the Lord. Isa58:13 made for man, the word Jesus used means mankind in Greek and Adam in Hebrew. mat2:27 that started at Creation thus saith the Lord Exo20:11 when there was not Jew or Israel just man and God.

I do not need to prove the Sabbath is a commandment of God, because God said so and I have provided a plethora of Scripture. You would need to prove where God said we do not need to keep the Sabbath commandment and where He transferred the power that comes with the Sabbath- His sanctification and blessings from the Sabbath, to the first day. God already spoke on this matter, He wrote it Himself, if we can't believe God's own Testimony Exo31:18 and said He would not alter His words Psa89:34 not a jot or tittle Mat5:18-19, what I say will not mean anything.

Take care.
You are also misstating the argument, to say that I advocate profaning the Sabbath, when I do no such thing, neither does the Apostolic teaching.
The Ten Commandments were written to the children of Israel by the finger of God and presented to them by Moses
The New Covenant does not profane the Sabbath, but expands it. God is not limited by His creation, else He would not be God. This is why Jesus says that the Sabbath was created for man, not man for the Sabbath, and He declared Himself Lord of the Sabbath, the Sabbath not being Lord of Him.
In the New Covenant, we keep the Sabbath every day. We deny ourselves and take up our cross. We do not work for ourselves six days and worship God one day. The work that we now do is not to enrich ourselves and grow our influence, rather it is a sacrifice in service for the people of God and for the greater glory of God.
The scripture says that they may see the good works that you do and give glory to God. As Christians, we have ceased from our labors of self edification and taken on the yolk of Christ’s sacrifice, as He says my yolk is easy and my burden light.
Do you remember where scripture says be anxious for nothing. Take no care for tomorrow for tomorrow will take care for itself, sufficient for today is the evil thereof. We are combating evil spirits every day and we are resting from our own labors in Christ everyday, not once per week. The Sabbath is not profaned and never will be.
The Apostles appointed over us have called the Church to remember Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and resurrection once per week as a sign of obedience, but that has nothing to do with sabbath rest that is everyday. Jesus rose on the first day of the week, and the Holy Spirit descended with tongues of fire on the first day of the week.
If we are not working for self exaltation, but rather as a sacrifice to our brothers and sisters, the Sabbath is not profaned. Jesus healed on the Sabbath and He even taught that labor in sacrifice is permitted on the Sabbath, when He said who of you if your beast has fallen into a pit would not pull it out on the Sabbath?
It is wonderful and laudable that you wish to please God to the best of your ability. To call your fellow Christians deceived and carrying the mark of the beast is profoundly misleading and does no service for the glory of God, nor the Sabbath
I whole heartedly apologize to you, if my previous words led you to believe that I advocate profaning the Sabbath. It is not true, God’s glory is to be honored never profaned. Presumption is a terrible sin of which I would be guilty if I advocated profanation of the Sabbath. If I have in the past then I repent before you and God right now

Resting in Christ everyday and living a life of sacrifice is not profanation of the Sabbath.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever. After the resurrection, the Apostles taught continual self sacrifice, not ceasing from work once per week.
Your faith can be hijacked by seducing spirits that say continual rest in Jesus and self sacrifice is evil. They play on emotion and limited knowledge. Which do you say is more righteous, continual Sabbath or once per week Sabbath?
Scripture says Woe to those that call the evil good and the good evil. This tells us that using our limited knowledge to call others evil, when they are good, will bring us woe.
Would you rather have woe, or have Our Lord say peace be still and know that I am God?

May God show you His peace to keep you from woe.

Glory in His Holy Name

“Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name;
Make known His deeds among the peoples.
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
Speak of all His wonders.
Glory in His holy name;
Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad.
Seek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face continually.
Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done,
His marvels and the judgments from His mouth.” (1 Chronicles 16:8-12 NASB1995)

We should be thankful to the Lord in all circumstances, in pain and suffering, as well as in times when all is well. For he allows us to go through hard times as well as good times, because the difficult times are for our good, to humble us, to mature us, and to make us more like Jesus in character, in word, and in deed. And we need that pruning to change us and to mold us into the likeness of Christ so that we follow our Lord in his footsteps, and we do what he commands, and we live for him to do what pleases him.

But our thanks and our praise to God for what he has done should be shared with other Christians, and non-Christians, too, for their encouragement. For we all have our good times and bad times because we are human and we live on this earth, and so we are subject to all that is going on all around us, too. Like if the economy goes bad, and so prices soar, if we are not wealthy people, but we live on limited incomes, well we are definitely impacted by that. And that is just one example. So we need encouragement.

But if we are to make known God’s deeds among the people, well at the top of the list should be the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We should be sharing with others how Jesus Christ, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – left his throne in heaven, came to earth, was born as a baby to a human (virgin) mother, and was conceived of the Holy Spirit, and not of man. So he was not born with a sin nature as we are. And he never sinned, not once the whole 33 years of his life on this earth.

Jesus left his throne in heaven and came to earth with the ultimate purpose of putting our sins to death with him on a cross, and then being raised from the dead, so that, by faith in him, we will now die to sin and live for God and for his righteousness in walks of obedience to his commands, by the Spirit, in the power of God at work within us. He did not give his life up for us on that cross just so we will verbalize faith in him but while we continue to live in deliberate and habitual sin in disobedience to our Lord. Please know this!

And to seek the Lord and his strength, and to glory in his name, and to sing praises to him, and to speak of all his wonders should never be done superficially and in form only. What we speak of and sing of should come from the genuineness of our hearts in thanksgiving to our Lord for his salvation (deliverance) from our addiction to sin so that, in his power, we can now serve him with our lives in surrender to his will in walks of obedience to his commands. For if we don’t live it, we don’t mean it with all sincerity.

For seeking the Lord is not just about giving him our requests, hoping that he will grant them. Seeking the Lord has to do with us wanting to get to know him, and to know his will and purpose for our lives, so that we will now do what he requires of us in thought, word, and deed – all in his power and strength and wisdom. If we are truly seeking the Lord we will be drawing closer to him in walks of surrender to his will and purpose for our lives, because we love him, and because we want to do what is pleasing to him.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

As the Deer

By Martin J. Nystrom
Based off Psalm 42:1


As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after You
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship You

You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship You

All people from third world countries no. Also I am not sure how Trump can say the US will permanently do anything your time sir WILL be up 1-20-29. The MOST you can say is no one is coming until then and moreover in terms of removing anyone who is not a net asset what about citizens who are elderly or disabled one could argue we ( I happen to be disabled) are not really an asset in the traditional sense. This whole America first thing ship sailed oh I do not know about 70 years ago things are global now he does not have to like it, but it is time he learn to accept it

The United States is not a charity organization for the rest of the world. I think that's the ship that has sailed, as the only ones showing up at the No Kings Rally's are the baby boomers, and Gen X women. Younger generations aren't seeing it.

The message The West has been setting for the rest of the world, is an 'anything goes' mentality, and other governments see that, and then they sluff off their own responsibilities. It's a bad example, and a bad trend. We need to set a new example of national *responsibility*, and push other countries in that direction, regardless of "Russia" or "fascist" name-calling propaganda.

Swatting Trolls v. Encouraging Saints—Who Wins When Threads Go Sideways?

People usually post here to pit Christian ethics and morality against secular ethics and morality.
Which shouldn't be a problem, right? I feel we should debate secular society with our Christian ethics and morality. It might not influence the secular person who posted the trolling topic but it gives the third parties reading the posts something to think about. Possibly they may find that Christians and Christianity's ethics and morality (which come from God) have alot to offer the world. I follow alot of your posts and I feel God is influencing me through some of those posts. I appreciate that alot (don't mind the word "alot" being misspelled, it's one of those Mandela effects - I swear it was spelled that way in another parallel universe :wave: ).
