Vows Immediate Immigration Change After New York Attack
President Donald Trump is taking a harder approach to immigration following two recent
terrorist attacks in New York City.
The day after a botched bombing attempt by an Islamic radical from Bangladesh, the president
on Tuesday called for an end to �chain migration� and the visa lottery program.
�We�re gonna end both of them,� he said at the White House.
�We�re going to end them.
Fast.�
�Congress must get involved immediately, and they are involved immediately, and I can
tell you we have tremendous support.�
Arguing the system poses a threat to national security, the president demanded Congress
end immigration preferences for family members of legal U.S. residents, which is how chain
migration typically works.
The announcement comes after 27-year-old Akayed Ullah � a Bangladeshi immigrant who was
living in the United States � allegedly attempted to detonate a bomb in the New York
subway system.
The bomb did not go off as planned, resulting in only minor injuries for several people
standing nearby.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, Ullah is a legal permanent resident and was
able to enter the country seven years ago on a visa for children of siblings of U.S.
citizens, The Hill reported.
He reportedly told law enforcement he was inspired by the Islamic State group.
The Monday bombing closely follows another terrorist attack in Manhattan that occurred
in late October.
On October 31, Habibullaevic Saipov allegedly drove a rental truck onto a bike path in Lower
Manhattan, killing eight people and injuring around a dozen others while shouting, �Allahu
akbar.�
Saipov is from Uzbekistan, but has been living in the U.S since 2010.
Law enforcement later found a note where he had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.
�This was an act of terror, and a particularly cowardly act of terror,� New York City Mayor
Bill de Blasio stated after the attack, �aimed at innocent civilians, aimed at people going
about their lives who had no idea what was about to hit them.�
Trump called for an end to the visa lottery program after it was discovered Saipov was
able to immigrate into the country through those means.
At the time, the president derided Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who represents
the state of New York, for being a supporter of the visa lottery.
As Trump noted, the White House has expressed interest in transitioning the U.S. immigration
system into a merit-based program.
The president has demanded the termination of the visa lottery program and chain immigration
as part of a crackdown on soft immigration policies in exchange for a legislative fix
for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, something members of Congress are
currently debating.
