Trump to permanently ban immigration to US from Nigeria, all Third World countries

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly said he intends to permanently stop immigration from Nigeria and other developing countries if he returns to the White House. His comment has sparked global reactions, especially from nations likely to be affected by the proposed policy. Trump argued that the United States must tightly control its borders and reduce the number of immigrants entering from what he called “unstable regions.”

He claimed that restricting immigration from these countries is necessary for national security and economic stability. Critics, however, say such a decision would unfairly target millions of people who seek legal entry for education, work, or safety. They argue that the U.S. has long benefited from skilled workers and professionals from nations like Nigeria.

Many international observers believe Trump’s stance could damage diplomatic relations with countries that have strong cultural and economic connections to the United States. They warn that the policy might create tension, limit opportunities, and fuel negative perceptions of America’s global leadership. Some analysts also say the move could lead to a sharp drop in student visas, work permits, and family reunification programs.

As the U.S. election season heats up, Trump’s immigration position is drawing attention both inside and outside America. Supporters applaud his strict border control agenda, while opponents insist that the proposal is extreme and discriminatory. The debate is expected to continue as political discussions intensify.
