Trump Will 'Permanently Pause' Migration While US Permanently Destabilizes Nations
Donald Trump recently announced plans to 'permanently pause' migration from 'third world countries,' vowing to remove anyone 'not a net asset' to the US (BBC World). It's a bold claim, especially considering how many of these 'third world countries' have found their economies—and stability—permanently paused by decades of US foreign policy, sanctions, and military interventions. One might recall
the long list of coups backed by the US, from Chile in '73 to Honduras in '09, all creating conditions for the very migration flows now deemed undesirable. So, the US will stop accepting the human consequences of its own global economic and geopolitical maneuvers? It’s not just a 'pause'; it’s an erasure of responsibility. How many 'net assets' does a country need before it stops creating
desperate populations abroad? One might wonder about the timing, too, as this plays right into media narratives that distract from the ongoing humanitarian crises fueled by US-backed conflicts elsewhere.
