Washington DC: US President Donald Trump issued sharp criticism of European immigration policies Saturday, claiming the continent is experiencing negative repercussions from accepting criminals from developing nations and declaring that his own election occurred "just in time."

In a social media post published on Truth Social, Trump wrote, "Europe is learning that when you take in Third World criminals, you become a Third World Country."

He added within the same digital thread, "It happens quickly, in just a blink of the eye. I was elected just in time!!!"

The president's latest commentary follows assertions he made days earlier regarding the potential long-term impacts of large-scale migration on the future of the United States.

Writing on Truth Social earlier in the week, Trump stated, "Sadly, if you import people from Third World Countries, you quickly become a Third World Country-- And there's not a thing you can do about it. Make America Great Again!"

The prominent inclusion of the slogan "Make America Great Again," a defining hallmark of Trump's political movement, underscored how central immigration reform and national identity remain to his presidential platform.

The remarks align with a broader, ongoing executive push against existing immigration frameworks. On June 8, Trump levelled criticism against federal judges after a court invalidated his administration's proposal to mandate a $100,000 fee for H-1B visas. The president labelled the legal rulings "crazy" and contended that the judiciary was actively damaging the nation.

Structurally, the H-1B visa program serves as a cornerstone of the U.S. guest-worker immigration framework. Under federal guidelines, the government imposes an annual cap of 65,000 standard visas, while allocating an additional 20,000 permits specifically for applicants holding advanced graduate degrees from American educational institutions.

Additionally, Trump targeted birthright citizenship policies in April by distributing a video segment featuring conservative commentator Michael Savage. In the footage, Savage alleged that certain foreign nationals systematically abuse American citizenship statutes by travelling to the US during the final stages of pregnancy to guarantee birthright citizenship for their offspring.
