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.

Not Fake News. I saw the video. Good for him.
Yeah right.
If Trump had said sh!thole European countries the media and hypocritical racists (of which there are many) would be nodding in agreement.
Too bad he didn’t directly reference Mexico as well, the shittiest of the shitholes.
Plus, he might have an extra pair of white bucks in your size.
I would like to live next to Cousin Eddie. He’s always got beer.
Ditto !!!!!!!!!
.
Oh and Juan Williams was hysterical over this....if the Muzz said that.....no biggie....
Politically these places are shtholes and needs to be said. Natives there probably feel it too regardless their faux UN mandated nationalism.
However the media fabricates thing and even if Trump did not say such things, the media will invent anything by hearsay
My close friend is an attorney representing owners of the apartment building.
While the most outlandish example of practices from those same s##thole countries, there are many, many others like chopping up donated furniture for a fire in the bathtub to roast a lamb and killing all neighborhood pets and burning children their parents believe are agents of demon!
One thing’s for sure - not one of the people here illegally from those countries has anything to say worth hearing defending their homelands. The fact that they’re here instead of in their own countries proves they agree with him about their countries.
I never could understand why people would leave a s*ithole country, claiming it was because it was a s*ithole country, and then spend their time remaking their hole in the US into a mirror of the s*ithole country they left.
Mexico is as “shithole “ as it gets. These people bring nothing to America but crime and welfare payments. Trump is now our greatest president ever for saying it like it absolutely is . What a great man!!~! Love it!!!!!!
You disagree?
I love this guy. Best election ever.
Trump just won in 2020!!
He speaks the truth. Is there a problem with that?
Just check out the photos in National Geographic...Who would rather be in some of those places than have a chance to be in the US, on the taking end of a generous welfare system and politically correct “sponsors”?
Ummmm...a democrat “source”. Naw, they wouldn’t lie about what words Trump used would they?
why would anyone be shocked or upset if he did say that? He has worked in the construction industry all his life and he is a New Yorker dealing with New Yorkers.
This wouldn’t surprise me a bit. He speaks truth and never sugar coats it or politispeaks. Heck we heard numerous stories of Hillary and Obama saying F$8! this and F$8! that and we all never questioned it.
The man is human BUT HE FIGHTS! Love him!
