US President Trump's Thanksgiving Message Sparks Outrage Over Aggressive Immigration Stance
In a deeply divisive Thanksgiving message, Donald Trump has reignited the debate on immigration policy in the United States. The former president's post on his Truth Social platform targets both current and future foreign-born residents, labeling them as "disruptive" populations that need to be addressed.
Trump's message outlines a drastic approach to reducing immigration, proposing a "major reduction" in migrants from Third World Countries. He claimed that millions of migrants were approved under the previous administration through an "unauthorized and illegal Autopen process," vowing to terminate those admissions. The post also calls for ending federal benefits and subsidies for non-citizens, denaturalizing migrants deemed to undermine domestic tranquility.
Criticism has poured in from various quarters, with many labeling Trump's stance as xenophobic and divisive. Local leaders in Minnesota, where Somali refugees reside, have been singled out for criticism by the former president. Governor Tim Walz and Representative Ilhan Omar have faced backlash over their handling of immigration issues, with Trump accusing them of not doing enough to address the problem.
Trump framed his message within a Thanksgiving context, praising American citizens who endure challenges he attributes to immigration while warning that those who "hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything America stands for" will be dealt with. The post comes as the US grapples with an ongoing national debate on immigration policy, border security, and the treatment of foreign-born residents.
The reaction from experts and advocates has been swift, with many arguing that Trump's stance is rooted in fear and intolerance. "This kind of rhetoric only serves to further divide a country already struggling with deep-seated issues," said one expert. Others have called for increased support for migrant communities and an end to restrictive immigration policies.
As the US continues to grapple with its complex immigration landscape, it remains to be seen how Trump's message will shape the national conversation on this critical issue.

I'm so tired of people like Trump spreading hate and division on what should be a day for gratitude 
. Can't we just focus on being thankful for our own blessings without turning it into an attack on others? And honestly, who do they think is "disrupting" America - the ones who are working hard to make a better life for themselves or those who are born and raised here? 
It's time we stopped demonizing people from other cultures and started understanding their stories. We need more love and less hate in this country 
I'm really disappointed in what Trump is spouting about immigrants. He's gotta realize that people from all over are coming here for a reason - they're seeking a better life! 
And he's just gonna dismiss that and say they're "disruptive" populations? That's not right.
- who else are we gonna let in? 
America needs diversity, not less people 
. His words are like a big ol' turkey, all hype and no substance...just serve up some facts & solutions instead 
He's just fueling hatred towards others who are trying to make a better life for themselves. It's not right to treat someone like they're a problem because of where they come from or how they look. We need to be welcoming and kind, not dividing and blaming. What's next? Is he gonna say something bad about our own families who have immigrants in their blood too? 
he thinks one post can change everything? Newsflash, Donnie: Thanksgiving isn't about immigration policy 
. It's about spending time with family and friends, being thankful for what we have. Can't even get that right 
. And btw, who is this "Third World" nonsense? 
We're all human beings here! 
This kind of talk just fuels the hate machine 
and makes people wanna stay inside and hide 
. Let's focus on unity and love 
.
It's like, what even is his end goal here? Is he just trying to stir up drama or actually cause real harm? I'm so tired of the hate-filled rhetoric coming from some politicians... it's time for us to stand together and demand better policies that prioritize humanity over division 
? his whole thing about "disruptive" populations is just code for we dont want no one else over here and thats not how america works 
? Newsflash, dude: we're not buying it 
. The fact that he's targeting specific communities like Somali refugees in Minnesota is a total low blow 
.
. Trump needs to chill out and focus on making America better for everyone, not just his base 
. We often say things without thinking them through, and before we know it, they're out there in the world causing more harm than good 
. That's not how we should be talking about complex issues like immigration - with empathy and understanding, not fear and hate 
. The words we choose can shape our perceptions and influence how others think about us 
. Trump's use of strong language is meant to stir up controversy, but it's only serving to further polarize an already divided country 
.
. I mean, come on, can't we have a more nuanced conversation about immigration without resorting to divisive rhetoric?
