Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has called upon President Donald Trump to take decisive action against what she perceives as an unchecked influx of foreign nationals into the United States.
Noem's appeal comes in the form of a proposed comprehensive travel ban aimed at curbing the entry of individuals she describes as detrimental to the nation's resources and security.
"I just met with the President," Noem declared on X, emphasizing her recommendation for "a full travel ban on every damn country thats been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies." Her stance reflects a broader concern about the nation's trajectory, which she argues deviates from the vision of its founders. According to Western Journal, Noem contends that the United States was never intended to become a "taxpayer-funded welfare state for parasitic, third-world migrants."
She passionately stated, "Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedomnot for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS."
The urgency of Noem's proposal is underscored by recent events, including the tragic shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, one of whom succumbed to his injuries on Thanksgiving. The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is an Afghan national who entered the United States as part of the Biden administration's 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan. "The suspect who shot our brave National Guardsmen is an Afghan national who was one of the many unvetted, mass paroled into the United States under Operation Allies Welcome on September 8, 2021, under the Biden Administration," Noem pointed out last week.
Lakanwal's case highlights the broader issue of inadequate vetting, as he was granted asylum in April, paving the way for a green card after a year. This situation raises questions about the effectiveness of the $6.3 billion allocated by Congress for the Afghan resettlement program. The lack of rigorous screening was confirmed by Border czar Tom Homan, who criticized the Biden administration's handling of the 100,000 Afghanis brought to the U.S., stating they "werent properly vetted."
The gravity of the situation is further illustrated by another incident involving an Afghan national, also brought to the U.S. in 2021, who was arrested for threatening to bomb a Texas building. These incidents serve as stark reminders of the potential risks associated with mass immigration policies advocated by Democrats, which Noem and others argue compromise public safety and national security.
The founding fathers of the United States would likely be dismayed to witness the nation's transformation into what some perceive as a haven for third-world migrants who strain public resources and pose threats to its citizens. Noem's proposed travel ban represents a proactive measure to address these concerns and restore the nation's integrity.
