Report: Trump Upset That ‘People From S***hole’ Countries’ Immigrate To America
Daily Caller ^ | 1/11/18 | Benny Johnson

Posted on 01/11/2018 3:12:11 PM PST by Maceman

President Trump reportedly complained during a Thursday meeting with lawmakers about immigrants from “shithole” countries coming to America.

The Washington Post quoted Trump, based on a source who was in the meeting, saying:

“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” The president was specifically referring to immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries and a proposal to restore protections to them.

The lawmakers in the meeting were Lindsey Graham and Dick Durbin. The Post notes:

Graham and Durbin thought they would be meeting with Trump alone and were surprised to find immigration hard-liners such as Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), at the meeting. The meeting was impromptu and came after phone calls this morning, Capitol Hill aides said. The administration is working on a bipartisan immigration deal which seeks to permanently implement DACA and establish robust border security. Protections for immigrants and the visa lottery will likely take a hit as part of the deal. The White House has indicated that a bipartisan deal has not been reached, but they are “hopeful” a deal will be brokered soon.

UPDATE: In a statement, the White House does not deny that the president said the above quote behind closed doors.

I’m shocked that the President would use that kind of language.

Seriously? Where have you been the last couple of years?

Since Trump named nations not races isn’t this technically nationalist comments?

My wife and I watched this on the news about an hour ago. I told her that Trump only said what most people thing, probably including most liberals. My wife is a liberal, who immigrated legally to the US decades ago, she laughed and said, “even I ask that, and I come from one of those shithole countries.”

You will be considered a racist if you are against having people come here from a country they managed to turn into a S#!thole. We certainly are not taking in “brain drain” immigrants like Einstein or Von Braun. We are taking in leaches to suck up the tax payers money and criminal invaders to set up their crime networks. Immigration is fine, but you must be selective to make sure we get the kind of people who are willing to contribute, and not to come only for the freebees. WE don’t need your help to turn the USA into a s#!thole, if you want that, go to California.

This is the opening salvo in the attempt to repeal the Immigration Act of 1965, which is what started all of this nonsense, to begin with. Introduced and sponsored by.....Ted Kennedy the molester of the Senate.

It is a fair description, but the description has become the issue instead of the immigrants from impoverished countries with low skills and education who become a burden to society.

That's why we were thinking Jim could set up a special Snowflake Room Forum for all the hissy fit folks. They could post histrionic threads and clutch pearls together.

The usual suspects are already blowing this up into Trump’s ‘Let them eat cake!’ moment.

That’s why people love Trump. He is willing to call a shithole a shithole. Everyone knows the shitholes including the shithole dwellers wanting to come here, but Trump says what others dare don’t.

I caught a glimpse of the Times article, and it seems that the lawmakers want to assign special protective status to certain people from third world hellholes.

Now, someone has got to explain to me how insufferably stupid these politicians can be.
