Immigration

Axios -  President Trump said late Thursday he "will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover."

The big picture: Trump has stepped up his hardline immigration crackdown since authorities identified an Afghan national as the suspect in Wednesday's deadly shooting attack on National Guard members.

    Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, died from her injuries Thursday and fellow West Virginia National Guard member Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, is "fighting for his life," Trump said.

State of play: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services suspended all immigration applications from Afghan nationals with immediate effect on Wednesday night.

Bloomberg  - Donald Trump called for “reverse migration” in the US as he outlined a further crackdown on immigration following the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington. Hours after announcing that one of the soldiers had died from her injuries, the president proposed measures such as permanently pausing admissions from “third world” countries and revoking citizenship for some naturalized migrants.

He also increased his hostility toward South Africa, saying he won’t invite the country to next year’s Group of 20 summit, which the president will be hosting at his private golf course in Miami. It may be a breach of protocol for a leader to decide which of the bloc’s members can attend the summit—let alone to host the event at their own hotel—but Trump has demonstrated he cares little for convention or the multilateral order.
