[quote]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 Trump’s remarks.

[I]yikes[/I]. ignoring the horrible fucking choice of words, what a piece of garbage. he's pulling down the people with the countries in question. what a crock of shit.

So here's an uncomfortable question: does he know [I]why[/I] they're getting immigrants from 'shithole countries' and not these 'good' countries?
soon: "FAKE NEWS! A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT"
god i hope this guy dies of cancer of the cock

I hate this poobag as much as one can hate a head of state far removed from me, but I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone, even my worst enemies.
Having said that, it's a real shame that the land that immigrants built has a head of state who doesn't understand/respect the foundation on which his country was built. Might as well just throw a sign up at immigration and say "WASP immigrants only", considering it's all but said out loud when it comes to him and his ilk.

I'd rather stay in Norway thanks
It's funny how he wants more people from Norway when he wages constant war on anything remotely left wing, considering even conservative Norwegians are to the left of the Democrats. He'll despise the values they hold, the only reason he thinks he likes them is that they are white.

The 2016 election never stopped in trump's mind, jesus.
I'll gladly come and push you off that chair, Trump.
People from "countries like Norway" don't want to immigrate to legit shithole countries like "the united states of america".
he wants people from "countries like norway" aka mostly white people, not people from "shithole countries" like haiti and el savador, aka mostly nonwhite people
Of course this will resonate with his base. His base agrees with it.
They'll probably say "BOUT TIME SOMEONE SAID WHAT EVERYONES THINKIN' MAGA"
can't wait to see how sarah fuckabee lies her way around this one
Hint Trump: People in those "not shithole" countries like the workers protections and social services and countless other concepts that you are right now actively destryoing in your country.
Why the fuck would Norwegians seek refuge here, in an objectively lesser country? Either he doesn't understand the purpose of immigration or he legit believes all those T_D posts about Europe being a communist hellhole.

Everybody knows setting up a social safety net to collectively help each other is socialism and WE CAN'T HAVE THAT.
Christ does he really have a 5 second memory? Also maybe they're here because their country is a shithole, a wartorn, burnt up, collapsed shithole.

My best guess is that he has a romanticized, phenomenally idiotic idea in his head that can be put down as such : "immigrant = Irish, Polish/Eastern European, essentially white families just looking for a new life" and "Haitian, African, essentially brown families looking for a new life = Refugees/Illegal Aliens, thus bottom feeders".
In general - Far too many people on online forums often wrongly categorize illegal aliens as "immigrants", which only serves to muddy the water because it casts aspersions on literally everyone of that ethnicity, especially legal immigrants using the countries' own legal immigrant channels. That public sentiment is then used to drive [I]actual[/I] legal immigration policy, which becomes a hot mess.

So exactly the same way US society viewed irish immigrants in the early 20th century, worthless bottomfeeders and unlikely to integrate. Crazy how that worked out. :v:
Completely unsurprising, remember that one time Donald Trump Jr. said [I]“If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you. Would you take a handful? That’s our Syrian refugee problem.”[/I]? They don't give a shit about anyone in need.

can we take a moment to reflect on the title of this article being "White House doesn't deny Trump's 'shithole' immigration remark"?
like i was vehemently anti-Trump in 2016 and i still would've been shocked by this dark vision of a future never meant to be
Well that probably just resulted in lawsuits over all his recent tps decisions
Guess what, Trump? Speaking as an American, [B]you[/B] made our country a shithole too so you have no room to talk!!! :downs:

No, shit, you're doing this backwards, you're not meant to give him [I]more[/I] reasons to tear apart what little safety nets the US actually has.
[QUOTE=Lambeth;53044842]Easy, america is a shithole.[/QUOTE]
But not as much of a shithole as the countries people are trying to get away from!
USA! USA! USA! /s
Seriously, this guy and people like him like to think so highly of our country, but the fact is that, while we are "better" than a lot of places, we're still not "great".
Okay, theoretical scenario. Let's pretend that the countries are "shitholes".
Riddle me this, Trump. Why the fuck does it matter? Shouldn't we be excited that these people want to immigrate here? Our immigration process only allows upstanding citizens through, shouldn't we be excited that individuals in these countries view our country as better and want to live here?
Unless you actually [I]are[/I] racist and think that the people, even after passing vetting, are somehow lesser.
[QUOTE=Xubs;53045315]
Donald Trump [I]is[/I] a white supremacist. Whole-bread, through and through, die-hard, true-believing white supremacist. [B]If he could have genocide he'd do it.[/B] Many of his supporters are the exact same way, don't be fooled.[/QUOTE]
Mmm, not sure I agree with this at all. He's incredibly xenophobic and classist, which leads him to do and say racist things like this.
He definitely seems like one of those people who'd be golf buddies with a rich, conservative black guy because he's "not like the other ones"
This kind of racism is really common among the conservative upper class in my experience.
