In a late-night Thanksgiving message that came hours after news that a National Guard soldier shot by an Afghan refugee had died, President Donald Trump promised not only to immediately “pause migration from all Third World Countries,” but also to undertake major actions that he says will reverse the immigration crisis plaguing the country.

In the blistering holiday message, Trump said the United States had been “divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at” for its “just plain STUPID” approach to immigration. He made a series of promises aimed at both stopping the flow of new immigrants, and both cutting off benefits to and removing certain populations that are already here.

“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country,” Trump pledged.

The president also promised to “end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.”

The nation’s generosity, Trump argued, has been weaponized against it, allowing a vast foreign-born population to overwhelm the country and inflict deep social harm.

Trump said the United States now hosts a “foreign population” of 53 million, citing census data, and charged that many recent arrivals depend on taxpayer-supported welfare programs while coming from “failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”

Trump asserted American families — too patriotic and well-mannered to complain — are the ones footing the bill. He claimed that a migrant earning $30,000 with a green card can receive roughly $50,000 in annual benefits, calling the situation a silent but growing burden on Americans that is “eating them alive.”

Trump pointed to the “disturbing” situation in Minnesota, where he says “hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over” the state. He took direct aim at Minnesota’s Democrat Governor Tim Walz, calling him “seriously retarded” and charging that he “does nothing” due to “fear, incompetence, or both.”

He also blasted Minnesota’s prominent Democrat congresswoman Ilhan Omar, invoking longstanding questions about whether the Somalian immigrant was married to her brother. He charged that Omar “does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how ‘badly’ she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation.”

Trump said the ultimate goal of his promises on immigration is a “major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations.”

“Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation,” Trump said. “Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!”

The message was posted just after midnight on the east coast, and was posted from Trump’s official X account.

A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World,…

Trump’s Thanksgiving remarks echoed his announcement just days earlier that he would terminate Temporary Protected Status for Somali nationals in Minnesota. That declaration followed a report in City Journal of massive welfare and nonprofit fraud schemes allegedly exploiting the state’s social-services system, with billions lost through sham providers, inflated diagnoses, fake meal programs, and networks of “hawalas” that some law-enforcement sources claim helped funnel money to al Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab.

Trump’s Thanksgiving post made clear that, in his view, the immigration crisis is not merely a policy dispute — it is the defining threat to American security, prosperity, and civic life, and one that patriotic taxpayers should no longer be forced to tolerate.

As a lawyer who represents detransitioners like Chloe Cole in medical malpractice cases and parents fighting for the right to notice and consent before public schools may socially transition their children, I am all too familiar with how bad science gets laundered in pediatric gender medicine. For the record, a detransitioner is an individual who medically transitioned but now identifies and presents as their natal sex.

Activists take over medical associations (most notably, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health or WPATH) and use the imprimatur of those organizations to justify providing children with puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and even irreversible surgeries. The unreliability of much of the medical literature on pediatric gender medicine makes the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ recent report, Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria: Review of Evidence and Best Practices, a necessary development in the field.

Here are ten key takeaways from the review.

The review’s key points put the risks children face when undergoing transgender medical interventions in sharp focus. Do doctors explain to their minor patients that they may experience significant negative health outcomes years or even decades in the future? When children are warned, are they mature enough to appreciate the risk of long-term consequences? Are children asked to consider the possibility that they may not identify as transgender in the future? Are children led to examine how they might feel about the interventions they received if they do indeed detransition? (My work as a lawyer in detransition cases tells me the answer to all these questions is often “no.”)

Debates about pediatric transgender interventions have largely been framed in terms of politics (what are the major parties’ stances?), law (does the Constitution permit states to prohibit transgender interventions for children?), and even philosophy (what is a woman?). But the central question we all should be asking is whether these interventions work. HHS’s exhaustive review of the medical literature makes a compelling case that the medical risk to minors posed by puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries significantly outweighs any benefits these interventions might confer.
