, Trump also threatened to cancel “millions” of entry permits granted under the administration of his predecessor, Joe Biden, as well as to “remove any” immigrant “who is not an asset to the United States.”
Trump added he would also end all federal benefits and subsidies for non-US citizens, as well as deport any foreign nationals deemed a security risk or “incompatible with Western Civilization.”
The angry posts mark a sharp escalation in Trump’s anti-immigrant policies in his second term, which has been dominated by a campaign of mass deportations.
“These goals will be pursued in an effort to achieve significant reductions in the illegal and nuisance population,” Trump said.
Trump took this extreme step a day after the shooting incident that killed two US National Security Guard personnel in Washington D.C.The perpetrator is known to be an immigrant from Afghanistan.
The shooting occurred as Trump deployed thousands of National Guard troops to Washington D.C. under the pretext of “reducing crime rates” in the capital.
However, many see this policy as just the latest pressure and is targeted at immigrants living in the US, especially Washington D.C.
Several months ago, the US suspended all study permits for foreign students, especially Chinese, on Uncle Sam’s campuses.
Apart from suspending the residence permits of foreigners from third countries, on the same day Trump also wanted to review the possession of Green Card visas for foreigners from 19 countries.
The 19 countries are Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
Is Indonesia included in the Third World Countries?
The terms First World Countries, Second World Countries, and Third World Countries originally referred to politics, especially when they first appeared during the Cold War era.
At that time, the term First World Countries referred to the United States and its allies.Meanwhile, Second World Countries refers to the Soviet Union and other communist countries that were its allies.
Meanwhile, Third World Countries refers to non-aligned countries and does not take sides.
At that time, Third World Countries also became a “call” for countries that did not join the North Atlantic Defense Alliance (NATO) or the Warsaw Pact belonging to the Soviet Union Cs.
However, over time the term Third World Countries has shifted to a negative meaning and is seen from the perspective of economic development.
This term has become a stereotype for countries that are considered undeveloped or developing, even underdeveloped (poor, below developing countries).
In the past, Indonesia was labeled as being in the Third Country category, both during the Cold War era and when viewed from its economic development.
However, in the 21st century, there is a lot of literature that labels Indonesia no longer in the Third World Countries category.
Meanwhile, Trump himself did not explain in detail what Third World Countries meant in his statement.He also did not explain which countries were included in the Third World Countries category and would be affected by his policy.
