Donald Trump criticises immigration from developing countries, renews calls for tighter policies

United States President Donald Trump has reiterated his criticism of immigration, particularly from developing countries, stating that large-scale migration could negatively impact the future of the United States. In a post on Truth Social, he wrote, "Sadly, if you import people from Third World Countries, you quickly become a Third World Country– And there’s not a thing you can do about it. Make America Great Again!" This follows earlier criticisms of federal judges after a court struck down his administration's plan to impose a $100,000 fee on H-1B visas. The court ruled that this proposed fee was an unlawful tax without US Congress approval, a decision seen as a setback to efforts to restrict employment-based immigration. The H-1B visa program allows US employers to hire foreign professionals, with 65,000 regular visas issued annually and an additional 20,000 for those with advanced US degrees. Trump also shared a video on April 23 featuring conservative author Michael Savage, who criticised birthright citizenship, claiming immigrants exploit US laws by arriving late in pregnancy to secure citizenship for their children, who then facilitate family migration.
