The moral of the story is that everybody should fix their country. Trump is sending a clear message to all wealthy people. Your village, your town, you can transform them into America.

Mostly Islamic countries.
But did Nigeria's later day lobbyists paint the image of Nigeria as a Muslim country before President Trump?
Nigeria is nearly equally divided between Christians and Muslims. There are likely to be more non Muslims than Muslims. Many Muslims from the south are nominal Muslims.

They still comedown here to bomb your country.

Do we even have a foreign affairs minister or a functional president?

Nah ,all these is because of the coming world cup . It is very understandable,they don't want people using the world cup to enter, they can't tell FIFA that they won't allow people to enter ,but they want to screen out those they don't want to come to their country ,after the world cup ,they will start easing things again

For where? Nigerian political leaders get diplomatic visas A-1/A-2 for trips to the US and I am pretty sure they won't be included in this visa freeze. Baba, you are on your own. OYO.
Yet President Tinubu doesn't want to use his diplomatic Visa to the USA. It's almost 3 years

You people and this dishonest, debunked and discredited narrative you keep peddling. I guess you all worship the saying "tell a lie so many times, it begins to appear the truth".

Below is what is official. You can carry on making malicious and fraudulent claim. Your prerogative.

You sound naive. So all the other anti immigration policies of Trump since His first term. The threat to cancel.green cards or to revoke citizenship by birth. Is also because of the world cup? How does it help the world cup?
Guy go and think about it again. Without sentiments this time.

If you don't need a visa to enter USA, why do you have to be careful of what you post? So, "American citizen" like you is still afraid of trump? Na wa o

I see all the countries the USA has given "Democracy" on the list.
and have deliberately left out Venezuela to give them a false sense of security while they deal with them.

Jakumo:
To anyone feeling sad about canceling their travel plans to the USA, consider what could happen to you in today's America if you were there on a visit, only to wind up getting grabbed by intensely racist ICE agents, and then shipped off in handcuffs to El Salvador's prison of no return simply because you neglected to carry your passport with you at all times.

The ICE Gestapo can spot a foreigner even before that person speaks with an accent that is not 100% American. If white women from Canada holding all necessary immigrant papers for the USA could get arrested and locked up to spend months in ICE concentration camps because they left America briefly, but then got nailed at the airport when returning to America, think of how much worse the outcome could be if the foreigner being arrested was a black African man.

You could not pay me a million dollars to set foot in today's America, and any person from Africa who is lamenting their inability to visit America now should just count their blessings and visit somewhere safer like Canada or Europe, where there are no secret police authorized to snatch people out of the broken windows of their cars, and spirit them off into concentration camps.

If Donald Trump does not want Nigerians setting foot in America, at least be grateful that Trump is willing to bomb the living crap out of Islamist terror mobs that make everyday life so perilous in Nigeria. Hopefully the world will witness more generous bombardment of terrorist targets in Nigeria by the US military in the coming months.
There will always be federal agents who overstep or discharge their duties with excessive zeal. That reality, however, does not automatically mean the Trump administration’s broader immigration posture is misguided or malicious.

Personally, I support what Trump is trying to do. I’ve watched multiple documented clips showing both legal and illegal migrants from parts of Africa in the U.S. running illicit operations, exploiting loopholes in the system to the tune of millions of dollars. What makes it worse is that many of these same individuals openly despise the West and curse America, yet benefit massively from the very system they condemn.

The unfortunate part is that the fallout from such abuses doesn’t just affect offenders, it spills over onto countless innocent people who genuinely hope to visit the U.S. one day with honest intentions. Blanket suspicion and stricter controls are often the downstream consequence of unchecked exploitation.

I’m also a strong believer that people fleeing their countries should channel more energy into fixing what is broken at home. No system, including America’s, has infinite capacity. There is always a threshold to what any country can absorb.

That said, I’ve seen claims that this current restriction or “pausity” mainly affects immigration visas, not tourist or student visas. If that distinction is accurate, it’s an important clarification. Can someone here confirm or expand on that?

Thanks.

I agree with you.
Correcting the errors of the past will require such graveness and tact. Trump is determined to clean the USA and he's taken that singular job very seriously.
I wish him all the best
Others should go build their countries too.

This guys ain’t messing around. They are trying to send a message: Everyone should stay back in they country and fix it.
