Noem Recommends Travel Ban on ‘Damn’ Nations Flooding US

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is recommending the U.S. implement new travel bans.  

“I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that’s been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies,” Noem wrote on X Monday night.  

“Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom—not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS,” the DHS secretary added.  

Noem’s post followed a meeting she had with President Donald Trump only days after an Afghan national shot two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. U.S. Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, died after the Wednesday shooting, and U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe is still in the hospital but is showing positive signs of recovery, according to West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey. Both Beckstrom and Wolfe were West Virginia National Guard members.  

Following the shooting, Trump directed U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to pause all asylum decisions. When asked about the move, Trump told reporters he thought the administration would maintain the pause for a “long time.”  

“We don’t want those people. We have enough problems,” Trump said Sunday, adding, â€œMany of them are no good and they shouldn’t be in our country.” 

Trump named the African country of Somalia as a nation whose citizens he does not want to enter the U.S. 

Two days after the attack on the National Guard members, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the U.S. had paused the issuance of all visas to Afghans.  

“The United States has no higher priority than protecting our nation and our people,” Rubio said.  

Thousands of Afghans came to the U.S. after the fall of Kabul to the Taliban in 2021, many of whom worked alongside U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan and feared for their safety under terrorist rule. 

Trump shared a photo on Truth Social of hundreds of Afghans packed into a large plane headed to the U.S. during the fall of Kabul.  

“This is part of the horrendous airlift from Afghanistan,” Trump wrote above the image on Thanksgiving Day. “Hundreds of thousands of people poured into our Country totally unvetted and unchecked. We will fix it, but will never forget what Crooked Joe Biden and his Thugs did to our Country!”  

Trump continued in a second post, pledging to â€œpermanently 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.”  

Trump also pledged to “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.”  

Since taking office, Trump has prioritized securing America’s borders and stopping the flow of illegal immigration into the U.S. after over 10 million illegal immigrants entered the U.S. during the four years of the Biden administration.  

In September, DHS announced that over 2 million illegal aliens had either chosen to self-deport or had been removed from the U.S. since the start of the Trump administration in January.
