President Trump grew frustrated with lawmakers Thursday in the Oval Office when they floated restoring protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as part of a bipartisan immigration deal, according to two people briefed on the meeting.
Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here? Trump said, according to these people, referring to African countries and Haiti. He then suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries like Norway, whose prime minister he met yesterday.
The comments left lawmakers taken aback, according to people familiar with their reactions. Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) proposed cutting the visa lottery program by 50 percent and then prioritizing countries already in the system, a White House official said.
A White House spokesman declined to offer an immediate comment on Trumps remarks.

Both Dick Durbin and Lindsey Graham were at this meeting. One would think we would have heard from them if Trump had actually said this.
“The comments left lawmakers taken aback...”
Yeah sure that’s rich! lol The same lawmakers who use slanderous words to describe the president and half the voters in the country.
Well worded.
The D.C.s (DemonRAT Communists) want these migrants because they will automatically vote DemonRAT. They will use legislative process and the courts to guarantee their voter base is well secured. They will subvert America’s freedom to guarantee their monopoly of power.
That’s true. Our people are going to those places for vacation, for Heaven’s sake.
How bad can it be, especially if those natives went home and tried to make their countries have better leaders.
It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to make America what it is. It boils me when some want to change it.
Stupid dems.
I don’t believe President Trump said it either.
The WaPo comment section is priceless.
I absolutely love the meltdown they’re in. I mean if this hasn’t been the greatest election ever.... I wonder what will be.
He surely does. And I can’t believe some freepers are upset he used the S word. What babies.
If you think that they're babies, why didn't you spell out the word yourself?
(We should also protest FR moderation, which removes posts for using it. That way, we can be more like our enlightened leftist friends, who object to policies on conservative forums, lack verbal filters, and believe everything in the Washington Post.)
aND... here come the pearl-clutchers. Concern everywhere!
RACISM CLAIMS >> RATINGS >> MONEY
The reason, Mr. President, is endemic world-wide white genocide. I have long wondered why we could not have an immigration program in America where we solve the low birth rate amongst whites in America by prioritizing immigration from Western European countries, much as occurred during our nation’s founding. And why the only peoples who are now being allowed to invade America with little or no restrictions are dark-skinned from non-white countries. The answer is, the systematic planned dilution and ultimate extinction of the white race and the white middle class in America and in Europe and its replacement with Muslim hordes by the power elites.
Thank you for speaking truth!
You post a 54 minute video? Come on man. At what time in that video does he make this statement?
Didn’t you already post the text? I thought you read it.
Today is Thursday, January 11 and the conference was two days ago on Tuesday, January 9 - so if you are talking about, Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?, you won’t find it at the meeting on Tuesday!
I did a Find on several of the words and phrases that he was rumored to say, and nothing turned up. If he said it and the wording is not in the WH transcript, it could still be found on the video, if he said it.
Have you played that video to see if he said it?
My bad. Sorry.
How does this supposedly stupid President get these supposedly brilliant Dems to CONSTANTLY take the bait?
