12,513 Afghans became permanent residents in ’16. Their country is in the middle of an endless civil war between the Islamic terrorists who hate us and the Islamic terrorists who really, really hate us. Only 31% of the population of Afghanistan can read. Around 1,000 of the Afghans we took in have jobs. 8,190 don’t have jobs. 3,158 are marked as unknown. That’s an 8% employment rate. The left has been shrieking that wrapping up Temporary Protected Status for aliens from El Salvador will wreak havoc on our businesses and economy. In ’16, we took in 23,449 Salvadorans. Around 3,000...

Appearing on this evening’s Hardball, Rep. Karen Bass, a Democrat and leader of the Congressional Black Caucus, twice accused Republican Senators Tom Cotton and David Perdue of “flat-out lying” by saying that they didn’t hear President Trump refer to various countries as “s—holes.” Bass then took things an ugly step further, insinuating that President Trump might have bribed the two senators in some way. Said Bass: “I think that they’re flat-out lying. And maybe they’re getting something from the President for it.” Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Can you imagine if, say, a Fox News host dismissively referred to an Indian-American Democrat, the son of immigrants, as “Raj whatever-his-name is”? The cries of liberal outrage would echo through the halls of politics and media. But that’s precisely how, on CNN this morning, Chris Cuomo snidely referred to Raj Shah, President Trump’s Principal Deputy White House Press Secretary. Ironically, Cuomo did so in the context of a discussion of racism. Cuomo said that when the controversy over President Trump’s alleged “s—hole” line first arose: “We went to the White House when it happened. Raj whatever-his-name-is didn’t back off...

“I’m telling you he did not use that word, George. And I’m telling you it’s a gross misrepresentation. How many times do you want me to say that?” Sen. David Perdue told host George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday. “The gross misrepresentation was that language was used in there that was not used and also that the tone of that meeting was not contributory and not constructive,” he said. Perdue, a Georgia Republican, attended the meeting last Thursday with other GOP and Democratic lawmakers seeking to hammer out a deal on immigration when Trump reportedly wondered out loud why...

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul brushed off suggestions that President Trump holds a racial animus against Haitians because he once supported Paul’s trip to the Caribbean nation to do eye surgeries on poor Haitians. Paul said on NBC’s “Meet The Press” Sunday that Trump donated money to a medical mission trip Paul took before he was president. Paul did about 200 surgeries on Haitians that allowed them to see while he was on the trip, and he said that’s evidence Trump isn’t prejudiced against the country. “It is unfair to draw conclusions from a remark that I think wasn't constructive is...

Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., repeatedly said Sunday morning that reports President Trump referred to Haiti and various African countries as "shithole countries" during a meeting with senators this week on immigration was a "gross misrepresentation." Perdue use the phrase "gross misrepresentation" several times during an interview with ABC's "This Week."

Nothing scandalizes a leftist like the truth.

It didn't take much for Democrats to take the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) negotiation to a new low, seeing how they had no intention of reaching any kind of compromise with President Trump. As for what was said during said negotiations, it just comes down to whom you believe. Let's not forget, it was former Senator Harry Reid who repeatedly went to the floor and accused then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney of not paying his taxes and when called on it, replied "He didn't win, did he?" So we all know Democrats are not beyond blatantly lying on protected...

The United Nations has condemned President Donald Trump's "racist" description of African nations and Haiti as "shithole countries," amid global outrage over the vulgar comments. In a discussion with lawmakers on immigration, Trump reportedly asked why the U.S. should accept more immigrants from Haiti and "shithole countries." The United Nations human rights office on Friday rejected his words as "racist" and inciting xenophobia. "These are shocking and shameful comments from the President of the United States. There is no other word one can use but 'racist,'" U.N. human rights spokesman Rupert Colville told a Geneva news briefing when asked about...

'Why are we having all these people from s***hole countries come here?' Trump said, according to two people who were briefed on the meeting and then leaked the comment to The Washington Post. Trump was reportedly speaking about...

Another Trump controversy is afoot, so I thought I would address it. In an Oval Office meeting to discuss immigration reform, the issue of TPS came up. TPS is Temporary Protected Status per Wikipedia: In 1990, as part of the Immigration Act of 1990 ("IMMACT"), P.L. 101-649, Congress established a procedure by which the Attorney General may provide temporary protected status to immigrants in the United States who are temporarily unable to safely return to their home country because of ongoing armed conflict, an environmental disaster, or other extraordinary and temporary conditions.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporary_protected_status Trump made comments that have caused a...

President Trump grew frustrated with lawmakers Thursday in the Oval Office when they discussed protecting immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as part of a bipartisan immigration deal, according to several 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 countries mentioned by the lawmakers. Trump then suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries such as Norway, whose prime minister he met with Wednesday. The president, according to a White House official, also suggested he would be...
