WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump will ‘permanently pause migration’ from third-world countries and ordered a green card audit of 19 nations after the Washington, DC terror attack that left a National Guard soldier dead. 

Trump blasted former president Joe Biden for letting unvetted migrants stream into America – claiming he allowed the Afghan shooting suspect into the US during the disastrous 2021 withdrawal. 

‘‘I will permanently pause migration from all third-world countries to allow the US system to fully recover,’’ he said in a Truth Social post Thursday night.

Trump also vowed to end all federal benefits for noncitizens, denaturalise migrants who undermine the US, and deport any foreign nationals deemed a security risk or ‘non-compatible with Western Civilisation’. 

‘‘Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation,’’ he wrote in the Truth Social post. 

‘‘Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those who hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for – You won’t be here for long!’’

Trump earlier demanded every green card issued to immigrants from 19 ‘countries of concern’ face an urgent reexamination.

The countries are: Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.

The extraordinary measures come after 29-year-old Afghan Rahmanullah Lakanwal allegedly shot two National Guardsmen who were on duty near the White House, leaving 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom dead and 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe fighting for his life.

Lakanwal arrived in America in 2021 as part of the disastrous US withdrawal from Afghanistan after serving as an ally of Special Forces troops in his CIA-backed ‘Zero Unit’.

During the withdrawal incredible photos and video showed hundreds of Afghans running to board cargo jets. On one plane 640 migrants were overloaded into an aircraft designed to carry 150.

Trump on Thursday humiliated CBS reporter Nancy Cordes after she questioned his claims that Biden was to blame for this week’s attack, and noted it was actually his administration which vetted Lakanwal and granted him asylum.

‘Actually, your DOJ IG just reported this year that there was thorough vetting by DHS and by the FBI of these Afghans who were brought into the US,’ Cordes, the Chief White House Correspondent for CBS, said. ‘So why do you blame the Biden administration for what this man did?’
