Senate Democrat Claims Trump Wants 'Basically White People to Come to Our Country'

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) told CNN Tuesday that she believes President Trump “made clear” that “he wants basically white people” to come to the U.S. based on remarks he reportedly made in an immigration meeting last week referring to countries like Haiti as “sh**hole countries.”

“He made clear that day that he met with Dick Durbin and Lindsey Graham that he wants basically white people to come to our country,” Hirono said.

“It’s hard not to have that interpretation,” she claimed. “That’s not just my interpretation.”

She also slammed Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR) and David Perdue (R-GA) who were in the meeting for saying they “do not recall” the comments.

“I think if the president uses a word like, and I will use it sh**hole, to refer to certain countries I think you would remember,” she said.

She called Cotton and Perdue “enablers to the president.”

Trump has denied the reports but admitted the language he used in the meeting was “tough.”

He also criticized Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) for misrepresenting what was said.

"Look, the president hasn't said he didn't use strong language," White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday when asked about the remarks. "And this is an important issue. He's passionate about it. He's not going to apologize for trying to fix our immigration system. He's committed to doing that and hopefully Democrats will be too."

So, Mazie, explain just how welcoming you are to white people coming to your “country,” Hawaii?

On Rush today it was learned that the president asked why not Norway and Asia.

Here we have an Asian marxist leaving off the Asian part of the statement

So it’s wrong to let white people emigrate to the country?

How ‘bout that.

Huh.

As opposed to none of them coming to our country?

What? You hadn’t noticed?

And the ones that do, are either unable to speak English, or are from cultures that clash with our own.

Yeah, maybe we do need a readjustment.

They lie all the time.

Deception is their primary means of action.

Bottom-line is that DACA is dead.

Bottom-line is Trump Won.

They got played and they haven’t figured it out yet.

>>“I think if the president uses a word like, and I will use it sh**hole, to refer to certain countries I think you would remember,” she said.

I hear that the scenery of Hawaii looks nice but that the Left wing secessionists there and the drug addictions and the immigrants/anchor babies make it less than desirable.

Maybe it’s a “pretty” sh&&hole state and deserving of the sh&&&y representatives they elect.

From the meeting today President Trump said Norway and Asia. He used Norway as he just came from a meeting with the Prime Minister of Norway.

They may or not not be “white” but in terms of their nation’s culture and norms yes they should be closer to the culture and norms of the U.S., as their productivity and assimilation will progress more easily, more rapidly and more assuredly.

Why do liberals think a merit based immigration policy will exclude black and brown people?

I should have added, we wouldn’t want her because she is your typical ignorant dimbulbrat.

Give her and her ilk a few more years and they’ll make Hawaii a sh*thole too.

He wants people who add value and work hard to achieve excellence.

Not rocket science, it is not racsist to think that, contrary to what progressive/communists may espouse.
