Germany’s response to a mass of crime committed by Afghan migrants under Chancellor Friedrich Merz—and, indeed, the establishment figures that came before him—has been to fly in more migrants from Afghanistan. But in the U.S., Donald Trump announced on Friday—just days after two members of the National Guard were shot in the head a few blocks away from the White House, allegedly by an Afghan asylum seeker—that the border is being widely shut down. In a long post shared on the day after Thanksgiving, Trump said he will “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover” and “remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country,” among other significant measures.
Canadian gender ideology-critical activist Chris Elston described the statement as “beautiful,” stressing that “every Western nation needs to do this.” French politician Massimo Nespolo also said that since Japan has already undertaken similar measures to those now underway in the U.S., Europe will soon be “the only target” for foreign criminals. Also in France, right-wing media outlet Une Bonne Droite insisted America’s action proved that “all the stories about ‘remigration is impossible, it would cost too much’ are nonsense.” And in the UK, broadcaster Alex Armstrong lamented: “If only we had this leadership.”
