Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) told CNN Tuesday that she believes President Trump “made clear” that “he wants basically white people” to come to the U.S. based on remarks he reportedly made in an immigration meeting last week referring to countries like Haiti as “sh**hole countries.”
“He made clear that day that he met with Dick Durbin and Lindsey Graham that he wants basically white people to come to our country,” Hirono said.

“It’s hard not to have that interpretation,” she claimed. “That’s not just my interpretation.”
She also slammed Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR) and David Perdue (R-GA) who were in the meeting for saying they “do not recall” the comments.
“I think if the president uses a word like, and I will use it sh**hole, to refer to certain countries I think you would remember,” she said.
She called Cotton and Perdue “enablers to the president.”
Trump has denied the reports but admitted the language he used in the meeting was “tough.”
He also criticized Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) for misrepresenting what was said.

"Look, the president hasn't said he didn't use strong language," White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday when asked about the remarks. "And this is an important issue. He's passionate about it. He's not going to apologize for trying to fix our immigration system. He's committed to doing that and hopefully Democrats will be too."
He wants people that can assimilate with our culture and contribute to our society, with a trade or with good work ethic. I don’t care what color you are as long as you behave like a human being and follow our constitution. This means being a conservative not a dumbocrat.
This is what is pure racism. Trump has NEVER made such a comment, however, he has said we want the brightest and smartest coming to the USA. So these liberal clowns are the ones suggesting that the Haitians and Africans do not qualify.
Ditto. I'm not seeing a problem with this. In fact a 10 or 20 year moratorium on immigration from shithole countries sounds dang good right about now. It's time the pendulum swung the other way for a while to balance the equation.
Why not? We need to get a little balance back.
Hirono-me wa baka desu.
She is not white, so:
1. If it is racist for a white person to want whites to immigrate, is she racist for preferring non-whites to immigrate?
2. Is she racist for not wanting whites to immigrate?
3. Is she racist for pointing out that someone may prefer white immigrants.
4. Or, she could be pure like I am, and insist that NO ONE for the next fifty years should be allowed to immigrate.
The irony isnt just dripping in this, its gushing like Old Faithful.
Saw a “woman of cover” loudly arguing with a guy in Home Depot in Seattle on Saturday. Who needs it.
Well, if whatever people who plan to come to America and add productivity to what we have here, then who cares? Except for liberals who want all but the wealthy elite to have lives that suck.
Hawaii is probably the most racist place in the US.
Hawaii has laws that discriminate against non (native) Hawaiians.
They have school only native (non whites) can attend.
And she is lecturing us about racism.
Something wrong with white people, dear?
What is a “basically” white person exactly?
Is that a totally white person who got a 25% tan in Hawaii?
Libre Hawaii.
Remind me again, WHO WON WW2??????
Mazie Hirono reads Minds as her second job
In Dems minds YES..because for Dems its all about importing as many minorities from sh*thole countries as possible, give them welfare and food stamps..and in return Dems get VOTES..for Dems killing off as many white people as possible and replacing them with THEIR voting block is what matters
“Why do liberals think a merit based immigration policy will exclude black and brown people?”
For the same reason that they think that voter IDs are discriminatory———they naturally feel that black and brown people are stupid.
Hey, I merely want people proficient in English.
Whites Peoples Is The Devil!!!
