The new U.S. immigration policy in 2025: what awaits migrants in 2026?
Только самое полезное
Trump’s 2025 immigration agenda: elimination of benefits, expanded deportations, denaturalization, and restrictions on immigration from third-world countries. What migrants should do now.
In November 2025, Donald Trump delivered a series of statements indicating a sharp shift in U.S. immigration policy. Amid election preparations and an escalating migration crisis, the former president pledged to implement radical measures targeting immigrants. These initiatives have sparked intense public debate and may affect millions of migrants already living in the U.S., as well as those planning to relocate. This article provides an in-depth overview of Trump’s key announcements, potential consequences, and what they mean for foreign nationals in 2025.
Key elements of the new policy
1. Elimination of Federal Benefits and Subsidies for Migrants
Trump stated that the U.S. will fully discontinue all federal aid programs for migrants, including housing, food and medical assistance. This applies both to new arrivals and to those who already reside in the country without citizenship or permanent residency.
2. Denaturalization and Deportation of “Dangerous” Migrants
As part of the policy shift, the administration plans to expand denaturalization procedures — revoking citizenship from individuals considered to be “undermining public order” or posing “security threats.” This may apply not only to convicted criminals but also to individuals suspected of ties to radical groups.
3. Ban on Immigration from “Third World Countries”
In a Truth Social post, Trump expressed his intention to fully suspend immigration from third-world countries. This applies not only to refugees but also to labor migrants, family reunification cases, and applicants under humanitarian categories.
4. Restoration of the “American System”
Explaining his stance, Trump argued that mass immigration “erodes American values” and undermines the functioning of government institutions. According to him, the system requires a “complete reset” and stricter immigration enforcement.

Potential consequences for migrants
- Sharp increase in deportations: immigration and law enforcement agencies are expected to receive expanded authority and additional funding to implement removal operations.
- Stricter vetting: obtaining a visa, Green Card, or citizenship may become significantly more difficult, especially for applicants from developing countries.
- Social instability: the elimination of benefits could worsen conditions for millions of people, particularly vulnerable groups.
What migrants should do now
1. Verify your immigration status
Ensuring that all documents are valid and that you have a lawful basis for remaining in the U.S. is essential for personal security.
2. Consult an immigration attorney
Professional legal advice is crucial for evaluating risks and creating a protection strategy, especially for individuals with temporary or uncertain status.
3. Avoid legal violations
Any conflict with the law can become grounds for removal or denaturalization.

Conclusion — prepare for change
U.S. immigration policy is undergoing major transformation in 2025. Trump’s statements signal that the country may further isolate itself and tighten all immigration processes. In these conditions, staying informed, updating documents on time, and obtaining professional support become critical.
