  • Trump linked the situation to the continent's acceptance of immigrants from developing nations.
  • He reiterated his stance on immigration, emphasizing his election in 2016 came "just in time" to prevent similar outcomes in the US.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has sharply criticized Europe's immigration policies, asserting that the continent is transforming into a "Third World Country" due to its approach to migrants from developing nations. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump declared, "Europe is learning that when you take in Third World criminals, you become a Third World Country."

He further elaborated on this sentiment, stating, "It happens quickly, in just a blink of the eye. I was elected just in time!!!" This remark suggests Trump believes his presidency arrived at a critical juncture to avert such a fate for the United States.

These comments follow similar statements made earlier in the week, where Trump argued that large-scale migration from "Third world countries" could undermine the future of the United States. His recurring slogan, "Make America Great Again," was prominently featured in his posts, highlighting his continued focus on immigration and national identity as central themes.

It happens quickly, in just a blink of the eye. I was elected just in time!!!

The article also touches upon Trump's criticism of federal judges after a court struck down a $100,000 fee on H-1B visas, which he labeled "crazy." The H-1B visa program, a cornerstone of the U.S. guest-worker system, has an annual cap of 65,000 standard permits, with an additional 20,000 reserved for those with advanced U.S. graduate degrees.

Sadly, if you import people from Third World Countries, you quickly become a Third World Country-- And there's not a thing you can do about it.

Additionally, in April, Trump amplified criticism of birthright citizenship by sharing a video that argued some immigrants exploit U.S. citizenship laws by traveling to the country late in pregnancy to secure citizenship for their children.
