President Donald Trump just delivered a much-needed gut check for America’s immigration system, freezing all asylum and immigration applications from 19 so-called “high-risk” countries. This bold move is a slap in the face to the failed Biden administration’s open-door madness. For years, liberals have prioritized virtue signaling and open borders over the safety of American citizens, letting dangerous individuals slip through the cracks like the ticking time bombs they are.
The countries targeted by this freeze read like a who’s who of global trouble spots: Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Venezuela—the list goes on. These are not random picks but sources of known security threats and ideological foes. It’s no coincidence that none of these places respect American values or security. Yet under Biden’s watch, their migrants were fast-tracked through asylum, green cards, and naturalization without proper vetting, thanks to judges and bureaucrats eager to flood the country with cheap labor and future Democrat voters. The result? Terror attacks on American soil, including attacks on our National Guard members, make our nation less safe for hardworking patriots.

Meanwhile, glaring hypocrisy gushes from this policy’s exemptions. Nations like Mexico, Central American countries, and even India—which floods the U.S. with millions of migrants, both legal and illegal—are far from this crackdown’s reach. Why? Because their workers primarily plug into sectors liberals like to pat themselves on the back for: white-collar tech jobs or agricultural labor. The globalist elite’s open-borders game is clear here: clamp down where it looks tough but keep the pipeline flowing for industries hungry for cheap workers and cheap votes.
Trump’s policy isn’t about a total shutdown, but it’s a serious pushback against reckless immigration. Every application from these so-called “high-risk countries” must now undergo intense re-review, including interviews and background checks that weren’t done under the Biden regime. This is plain common sense—vet before you let anyone through. The side effect? Real Americans will finally get the security that’s been stolen from them by years of softness and political correctness.
This freeze also sends a message: America is done accepting anyone who poses a threat to our way of life. The needless suffering and loss America has endured because of lax immigration policies must end. Trump’s crackdown is the fresh air the country desperately needs. The question now is, how long will the Deep State and liberal judges waste taxpayer money to try to undermine these safeguards? America deserves borders that protect—not open gates that invite disaster. Why continue to gamble with our security when the risks are so clear?
