Trump wants fewer immigrants from “shithole countries” and more from places like Norway
Vox ^ | Jan. 11, 2018 | Jen Kirby

President Trump reportedly referred to Haiti and countries in Africa as “shithole countries” and called for more immigrants from places like Norway at an Oval Office meeting with lawmakers, two people briefed on the meeting told the Washington Post on Thursday night.

The meeting was intended to hammer out an immigration deal that would extend protections and offer a path to citizenship to DACA recipients, but also include money for border security and reforms to some immigration programs.

According to the Post, one deal being considered would allow visas from the diversity lottery to go to immigrants who just lost Temporary Protected Status, which allowed them to stay and work in the US — including those from Haiti and El Salvador, whose protections are expiring next year.

That’s the broad context for Trump’s outburst. But this isn’t the first time Trump has reportedly made racist comments about immigrants from predominantly nonwhite countries.

A New York Times report in December recounted a meeting in the Oval Office at which Trump railed against the recipients of US visas in 2017. During it, he reportedly complained Haitians “all have AIDS” and Nigerians would never “go back to their huts.” The White House denied Trump made those remarks.

The way the Irish have been behaving lately, I'm thinking I don't want any of them coming over here either.

Poles and Eastern Europeans seems to be about the only nations that appear to have their heads screwed on straight.

He just said what a lot of people think: Why are we always taking the poorest, most illiterate, least skilled people from countries with questionable cultural practices?

If we don’t import freeloaders from sh*thole countries, who will vote for the “democrats”? The ‘Rats count on this scum in order to get themselves elected.

Maybe Trump mentioned Norway because he was impressed with Erna Solberg. Ja!

And don’t forget to mention the Somalians. As long as they don’t practice piracy send them to Minnesota.

Yes, why DID we end up with so many migrants from sh*thole countries?
Did the RATS try to establish another “greatest generation”?
