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.

I’m just guessin’ here but seems like some of the detractors have never set foot in these hell holes. And the hoi poloi get the red carpet treatment and are kept from the steenkin’ slums so..................
A bit much?
Grow a spine.
Hes bang on the money.
Your country in being literally raped by these
Throwbacks from shitholes. Its a fact.
i’m sure congress people (even holier-than-thou Dems) have said it in private conversation....without a doubt.
No it's not. Haiti actually is a shithole country - so is El Salvador.
This is simple objective truth and common knowledge. Even in polite company.
Fake News. It doesn’t appear that he said what this article claims he said:
Notice how WaPo follows the quote with the names of two actual Senators, hoping that readers will think that they are the ones quoting PDJT. These writers are word experts. Too bad they use their skill for disinformation.
What does that mean, two people briefed on the meeting? That could mean two reporters, couldn't it?
Like I said, Fake News.
Norway?? So he is admitting he wants the United States to become a Eurosocialist country? No way.
Why does Trump simply direct that the lottery system stop. He can redirect the people conducting the system and refund the money...or delay the process pending a review and never conduct the review.
Nice catch. These are people who wonder why nobody believes them anymore.
While people tend to hyperventilate about the wide-spread IC surveillance and spying on all US citizens - not just Trump - they are ignoring the precedent that can now be utilized by Trump to spy on/frame/plant evidence and black-mail the opposition.
In a post-constitutional word, power is achieved through control of legal government mechanisms. In this kind of environment, the key is to hold control; all else is useless noise. Rather than cry over the end of a lawful republic, we should be cheering that at least our side "won". (I mean, it happened anyway; at this point, we should be damned glad it wasn't PIAPS.)
With Trump in full control over every arm & mechanism of US power - both foreign & domestic, he can say/do whatever the hell he wants without fear of repercussion. Blue wave in 2018? Don't make me laugh - just wait for the leaks and smears of any/all opposition candidates.
If Trump plays this right, the left could be on the defensive for 50+ years.
Tranny Nanny. Yep. That is true.
Then add in the fact he was molested by Uncle Frank. Frank Marshall Davis.
It’s no wonder that BHO was a messed up twinkie.
There isn’t one person criticizing him who would move to one of those s###hold countries.
This story led on the Bret Baier show on FNC.
Unnamed source in the WaPo.
So agree with you!!
The damn RATS care only about inundating our country with illegals to keep them in power—and to hell with protecting the interests/safety of legal American citizens!!!
I love President Trump’s brutal honesty and bluntness.
We need the Merit-Based Immigration system and comprehensive Extreme Vetting to determine who is allowed to cross our borders.
Fox news reports comment Came from an unknown source. F em all Trump is right.
Let’s see. We need more unskilled and uneducated people to keep the welfare state alive and the public schools bogged down. We have room under our bridges to house the homeless. Doctors need poor people to “practice” on.
If James O’Keefe hadn’t intimidated enough pro vote fraudsters to abort their missions, James Carville would have been right about his book 40 More Years.
Can I steal that line?
You should hear what they call us.
