Dr. Ody Ajike, a prominent security consultant and lawyer, has sharply criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, asserting that they devalue other nations and are rooted in “authoritarian populism.” In a recent interview, Dr. Ajike emphasized that while nations have the right to manage their immigration systems, Trump’s approach often results in repressive measures and undermines collective decision-making.
He further contended that Trump’s policies portray other countries as subservient, disregarding the diverse social and economic structures within American society.Dr. Ajike warned that such unilateral actions could lead other nations to bolster their own values and systems in response.
This critique aligns with broader concerns about the international implications of Trump’s immigration stance. For instance, recent executive orders have strained relations with countries like Colombia, where economic threats were employed to enforce U.S. deportation plans. Such tactics risk destabilizing regions and compelling allies to comply under duress.
