GOP Tells Trump To Curb Legal Immigration?
A Major Push to Protect National Security Under President Trump
Rep. Randy Fine is throwing full support behind President Donald Trump’s newest move to halt asylum and immigration benefit applications from high-risk nations—arguing the policy is not only necessary, but essential for America’s long-term security.
Fine told Newsmax that many countries simply cannot provide reliable background information on their citizens, leaving the United States vulnerable.
“They don’t have databases,” Fine explained. “And even when paperwork exists, you still cannot know what’s in a person’s heart or mind.”
For millions of older Americans concerned about border security and rising threats from abroad, Fine’s warning echoes what many have felt for years: America cannot protect itself if it cannot trust the information it receives from foreign governments.
Trump Expands Travel Ban From 19 to More Than 30 Countries
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed that the Trump administration is expanding the travel-ban list to more than 30 countries, strengthening screening procedures and tightening restrictions for applicants coming from unstable or hostile regions.
This move is part of a broader strategy by President Trump to restore order, secure borders, and protect American families from preventable threats.
Fine: “Stopping Illegal Immigration Isn’t Enough. We Must Stop Undesirable Legal Immigration Too.”
Fine stressed that President Trump has already delivered historic results by reducing illegal immigration, building new enforcement systems, and restoring the rule of law at the southern border. But he argued that the next phase must focus on weaknesses in the legal immigration system as well.
“In the same way President Trump ended illegal immigration, we need to stop undesirable legal immigration,” Fine said.
He also emphasized that deportations should not be limited to people who crossed the border unlawfully.
“We’ve got to be sending home legal immigrants who came here for the wrong reasons,” Fine added, highlighting national security risks and the economic burden placed on American taxpayers.
Welfare Dependency and Cultural Decline: Fine Warns of Long-Term Consequences
For many conservatives, especially those aged 50 and older who lived through major cultural shifts, Fine’s warning hits close to home.
He argued that poorly managed immigration policies combined with welfare programs create dependence rather than opportunity.
“One of the big lies about welfare is that it is compassionate,” Fine said. “When you give someone something they didn’t earn, you corrode their soul and create entitlement.”
He warned that welcoming migrants from failing societies without proper vetting or assimilation programs will reshape America in ways voters never asked for.
“If you import the third world, you become the third world,” Fine stated. “This isn’t about racism—it’s about culture, stability, and our national identity.”
Why This Matters for Older Americans and Retirees
Older citizens—especially those living on fixed incomes—are often the first to feel the impact of overcrowded schools, strained public services, rising crime, and expanding welfare programs.
Trump’s intensified immigration controls resonate strongly with older conservative voters because they:
- Protect Social Security and Medicare from mounting strain
- Reduce pressure on hospitals and emergency services
- Prioritize American workers in a changing economy
- Strengthen national security in an increasingly unstable world
Bottom Line: Trump’s Immigration Strategy Is Entering a New Phase
Rep. Randy Fine’s message is clear: America cannot afford weak vetting, dysfunctional welfare incentives, or cultural erosion caused by reckless immigration policies.
With President Trump strengthening border security, expanding the travel ban, and confronting both illegal and undesirable legal immigration, the administration is signaling a renewed commitment to protecting American families and preserving American culture.
