President Trump attacked Democrats today on Twitter for their foolish, soft immigration laws and for the “lottery” system that protected ISIS killer Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov.
Speaking to reporters after the Twitter-storm, Trump said that the White House is moving to terminate the “diversity visa” program that allowed the terrorist to enter the United States, followed by up to 23 “family members.”
“We want a merit-based program…we want to get rid of chain migration,” the President said.

Trump added that the suspect, Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, was the “primary point of contact” for “23 people that came in or potentially came in with him, and that’s not acceptable.” He clarified that 23 is a preliminary number.

President Trump called for “strength” and “resolve.”
“We will never waver in the defense of our beloved country. Ever. We’ll never ever forget the beautiful lives that have been taken from us,” said Trump. “We also have to come up with punishment that’s far quicker and far greater than the punishment these animals are getting right now.”
