WASHINGTON (USA) (ITALPRESS) – “Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolf represent the best of America, two young patriots willing to risk their lives for their fellow citizens.” The White House spokesman Karoline Leavitt said this during the usual press conference in the briefing room, recalling the tragic shooting last week in Washington. The spokesman blamed the Biden administration, claiming that the attacker was an Afghan citizen who arrived in the United States in September 2021 following the chaos of withdrawal from Afghanistan: “One of the greatest debacles in the history of our country, which continues to weigh on our men and women in uniform.” According to the White House, nearly 100,000 Afghans would be admitted to the country without adequate verification, exposing American communities to security and fraud risks. “The tragedy last week is a reminder that thousands of terrorists, criminals and gang members were invited to our country and remain here,” said Leavitt.
In response, the Trump administration announced the revision of all Afghan admissions: “Every individual threatening national security or citizens will be subject to expulsion,” said Leavitt. The new policies include the temporary suspension of admissions for Afghan refugees, a visa review and the suspension of asylum procedures for more detailed control. The spokesman stressed the need to stop the uncontrolled entry of high-risk foreigners and to fight fraud in immigration programs. He then reiterated that President Trump’s priority is to protect internal security and ensure that immigration laws are respected. “Having a visa in the United States is not a right, but a privilege that can be revoked against national interests,” said Leavitt. The White House’s declarations underline a decisive approach to safety, immigration and drug trafficking, emphasising the continuity of Trump administration policy.
