Trump’s Third World Travel Ban Is Great, But Only 19 Countries? Those Are Rookie Numbers!

A day before Thanksgiving, two members of the National Guard were patrolling near the White House when an Afghan man by the name of Rahmanullah Lakanwal opened fire. National Guardswoman Sarah Beckstrom, 20, would eventually succumb to her injuries and pass away while Guardsman Andrew Wolfe, 24, remains in critical condition. We later discovered, via the CIA, that Lakanwal had worked with U.S. forces in his native Afghanistan and had been evacuated from the country as a result of the botched Biden withdrawal. It is worth noting that this was not the first such incident involving an Afghan national shooting at the men and women charged with keeping this country safe. Just 15 miles away from the DC shooting, another Afghan by the name of Jamal Wali shot at two Fairfax County police officers in May of 2025 all the while shouting anti-White slurs at the officers.

In short, Americans are not safe around these tribal Islamists; and they should have never been brought to this country.

To his credit, the President reacted quickly by pausing all visa considerations for people from Afghanistan and subsequently cancelling any approved but yet to be issued visas for Afghans.

The president would later go on to claim, twice in fact, that he was going to pause all immigration from “Third World countries” in order to keep Americans safe. He also said on Truth Social that “Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation.” This is a Presidential call for the same Remigration we’ve been talking about.

Unfortunately the President appears to have a remarkably limited idea of what constitutes a Third World country. Fox News is reporting that the President is largely focusing his efforts on revoking the visas of immigrants in the country who originate from the 19 countries he issued full and partial travel bans on in the summer of 2025.

The list: 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.

This is fantastic, but it is far from enough.

There are more than 150 countries that most Americans would consider as Third-World, including every country in South America, Africa, the Middle East, and most of Asia. Yet, none of these countries is under a travel ban.

If the travel ban only covers the 19 countries Trump has already designated as problematic then he will succeed in revoking perhaps 1.9 million visas, and if he pushes for denaturalization he might deprive a further 2.4 million naturalized immigrants from these countries of an American passport. Again, this would be fantastic, but it would be far from sufficient to keep the American people safe and very far from a proper Third World immigration ban. Not least because members of certain ethnic and religious groups span borders and will still be able to enter the United States from other countries.

Take Pashtuns (also known as Pathans) as one example, the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan and the people for whom the Taliban fight. Most Pashtuns actually live in Pakistan where they also have a Taliban related militia and practice the same branch of remarkably radical Islam. What good is it for the President to ban Afghan Pashtuns from the United States if Pakistani Pashtuns can still enter the country?

We can find another example in Venezuela and Colombia. The President has issued a travel ban on Venezuelans—again, fantastic—yet has not issued one on Colombians despite Colombia being as much, if not more involved in narcotic production and trafficking than Venezuela! Additionally, there are 600,000 more Colombians in the United States today than Venezuelans. In the grand scheme of things these narco-states are culturally and politically identical and both visit the same negative externalities on the American people, yet the President has only banned travel from one.

Oh, and who can forget that the President of Colombia threatened to raise up an army to crush the United States in the same breath he told American troops to disobey our President? We certainly hope the administration hasn’t.

Finally there is the single largest origin point of our current crop of immigrants, Mexico. Why has the administration not banned travel from Mexico? The country is the beheading, drug, child trafficking, and cartel capital of the world.

Mexicans smuggle firearms from the United States into Mexico, drugs from Mexico into our country, and murder Americans by the score every year both at home and abroad. Mexico is a much bigger threat to American peace and stability than Venezuela or Cuba can ever be and yet there is no travel ban on this failed narco-state that lies along our Southern border. Why?

Well, we don’t know why. The president may well have his reasons but whatever they may be he has not spelled them out to the American people.

It would be much more meaningful and demographically impactful for the President to revoke the visas of every Mexican AND Venezuelan, of every Afghan AND Pakistan, and of every Laotian AND Vietnamese.

If we’re going to ban Third World immigration let’s do it the right way.
