The President of the United States is signaling a tougher stance on immigration, insisting that his administration will not compromise when it comes to protecting American citizens and securing the nation’s borders.
In a message shared on his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump declared that he intends to implement some of the strictest immigration measures seen in recent years—measures that could significantly affect people from Kenya and many other developing countries who have long aspired to settle in the United States.
For decades, Kenyans and citizens from various countries have accessed the U.S. through established legal pathways such as the Diversity Visa (Green Card) program, employment-based visas, or marriage-based migration.
Many have successfully built new lives in America through these opportunities. However, Trump’s latest remarks suggest that such avenues may soon face major restrictions under his leadership.

In his statement, Trump claimed that immigrants from what he referred to as “third-world countries” are responsible for rising violence and instability within the United States.
He asserted that his administration will take firm action to halt what he views as unchecked migration from these regions.
According to his declaration, the government intends to stop new entries and move toward deporting individuals already living in the country who, in his view, contribute to insecurity or social tension.
The comments immediately sparked reactions across the globe, particularly in nations such as Kenya, where thousands apply for American visas each year in hopes of pursuing better economic opportunities, education, or family reunification.
Many are now waiting anxiously to see how Trump’s promised measures will unfold and whether they will reshape long-standing immigration programs.
While the full details of the proposed policies remain unclear, Trump’s message underscores a shift toward stricter immigration enforcement. For now, Kenyans and other prospective migrants can only watch developments closely as the U.S. administration prepares to outline its next steps.
