President Trump says the attempted bombing in New York highlights the urgent need for Congress to enact immigration reform.
He said the Bangladeshi suspect entered the US on a family immigration visa that is incompatible with national security.
The 27-year-old suspect, Akayad Ullah, was wearing a homemade pipe bomb that detonated in the bus terminal near Times Square on Monday.
Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters: "This was an attempted terrorist attack."
Five people, including the suspect, have been injured.
