Trump admin cuts legal immigration from Muslim countries by over 90% - CrimsonPhantom - 10-19-2026 12:27 PM
Quote:The Trump administration has sharply reduced legal immigration to the United States, with immigrant visa issuances falling by roughly half compared with levels under Joe Biden. The restrictions have disproportionately affected African and Middle Eastern countries, with immigrant visas issued to nationals of Muslim-majority countries reportedly declining by more than 90 percent.
In February, the State Department issued approximately 26,000 immigrant visas, down from an average of roughly 52,000 per month under the Biden administration before President Trump returned to office, according to The New York Times. The administration imposed sweeping restrictions on immigration from 91 countries and reduced visa issuance for another 61 countries. African and Middle Eastern nationals were among the hardest hit, with the number of immigrant visas issued to nationals of Muslim-majority countries falling by more than 90 percent.
The restrictions intensified over the course of Trump’s second term. During the administration’s initial months, immigrant visa issuance declined by roughly 10 percent. In January, an expanded travel ban restricted entry for nationals of 39 countries, while visa issuance was paused for people from another 52 countries. The administration also suspended the diversity visa program.
The State Department issued virtually no immigrant visas to nationals of affected countries for more than eight months. Canada and Mexico, which were not subject to those restrictions, were among the few countries to see increases in visa issuance.
The policies were implemented without congressional approval and subsequently blocked by federal courts. Federal courts in two lawsuits ordered the government to resume issuing visas in August. However, most people whose applications had been affected are still waiting for their visas.
Nonimmigrant visas have been affected as well. Visas for international students and workers fell by roughly 30 percent compared with one year prior, while visas for tourists and business visitors declined by roughly 25 percent in February.
Seasonal agricultural workers and exchange workers visas have remained at the same level, while visas for seasonal workers in hospitality and tourism have declined.
A New York Times report from earlier this year noted that the Trump administration’s immigration policy echoes that of 1920s America. At the time, the country instituted a cap of 150,000 immigrants each year, with lawmakers arguing that the US “cease to function as an asylum.”
“The Trump administration remains laser-focused on arresting and deporting criminal illegal aliens, keeping our border secure from aliens who seek to enter illegally and putting Americans first in all our policies — from travel restrictions to deportation operations,” former White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told the outlet earlier this year. “The president’s guiding focus remains doing what’s best for the American people.”

Now start a plan to keep reducing it year after year.
And ditto for the rest of the countries.

I would have little problem with that with provisions for some special circumstances.

As predicted.
The xenophobic are going after legal immigrants now.
They are easier to target than high prices, apparently.

Islam isn't a religion. It's a militant political ideology masquerading as a so-called "religion". Sharia law is incompatible with the Constitution. Period. End of story.

So what?
If I meet a pretty girl somewhere we’ll see about figuring it out.
Nobody cares about legit “immigrants”, just do it right, and for the right reasons.
It’s been done that way for hundreds of years.
Why would that return to sanity make you quiver?
Very strange

It’s like believing that since none of us here have moved to the Congo, that that’s proof of xenophobia, and there’s no other possible conclusion.

90 percent is a strong figure. The next goal is 95 percent.
I support President Trump's effort on significantly limiting Muslim immigration.

It won’t be long before the thought of what modern Europe has become disgusts Russian people and they’ll be happy to be allies of the Chinese, and BRICS. Hopefully, other than selling them things, Russia will turn its back on Europe in the coming years.

If it comes down to even having a basic trading relationship, I’m sure Russia is happy to let them import LNG from half way around the world for 5 times the price Russia sells it for, because it will keep their economy much smaller. There is certainly nothing in Poland that Russia wants or needs.
The way the Poles have acted in the past, the last thing Russia needs is to have to waste time and energy to put them back in their place. They have been trying to move eastward for hundreds of years, but it’s not happening. They aren’t getting a foothold in Ukraine again.

Islam is not compatible with Western culture. Right, wrong or indifferent they follow a 6th century religion that preaches conquest. They lie to Westerners about their religion of peace to target Christian Nations.
Every Mosque should be closed and burnt down. Every Muslim needs to be ordered to leave. If they don’t leave then they need to be shown the door.
If they are here when the 2nd Civil War goes down they will not survive.

Obviously you can’t pigeonhole a group of people into believing they are all alike and will bring their cult and separatist laws to the US.
But, man enough already have. It’s like trying to figure out if a snake is poisonous when it’s already on top of you.
Best to turn down the spigot and do some serious vetting on these people
Who knows one could be the Fox Anchor like Aishah Hasni.
