It is worth noting that the tightening of immigration policy in the U.S. began after an incident in Washington, when a shooting occurred near the White House. The attacker, a native of Afghanistan, injured two National Guard members, one of whom died. As a result of this event, the U.S. suspended the processing of applications from immigrants from Afghanistan. Donald Trump promised to remove all foreigners "undeserving of being in the U.S.," after which his administration announced a review of green cards issued to migrants from several countries.
