President Donald Trump renewed attention on immigration with a Truth Social post on Monday, June 15, 2026, as his administration pursued major changes affecting work visas and green card processing.

Trump wrote, “If you import The Third World, you become The Third World,” before repeating his “Make America Great Again” slogan. The remarks came shortly before his arrival at the Group of Seven summit in Evian-les-Bains, France.

Trump immigration post comes amid visa policy changes

The message placed fresh attention on Trump’s broader immigration agenda, including changes to legal immigration programs and enforcement at the US-Mexico border.

A major legal setback came on Monday, June 8, 2026, when US District Judge Leo Sorokin in Boston struck down the administration’s $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa petitions.

Sorokin concluded that the charge functioned as a tax that Congress had not authorized. The White House said it expected the ruling to be overturned on appeal.

The H-1B program allows US employers to hire qualified foreign professionals for specialty occupations, including jobs in technology, health care, education and research. The administration has separately proposed favoring higher-paid and more highly skilled applicants during the visa-selection process.

USCIS changes adjustment-of-status guidance

On Friday, May 22, 2026, US Citizenship and Immigration Services issued guidance describing adjustment of status inside the United States as extraordinary discretionary relief.

The guidance emphasizes consular visa processing abroad as the ordinary path to permanent residence. However, its effect may differ depending on an applicant’s immigration category, eligibility and individual circumstances.

The combination of Trump’s renewed immigration rhetoric, the continuing H-1B court dispute and stricter USCIS guidance could affect employers, international students, visa holders and families. It also keeps legal immigration at the center of the administration’s domestic policy agenda.
