Trump decries immigrants from 'shithole countries' coming to US
CNN ^ | 01/11/2018 | By Eli Watkins and Abby Phillip, CNN

President Donald Trump expressed frustration behind closed doors with people coming to the US from "shithole countries," The Washington Post reported Thursday. "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?" Trump said, according to the Post, which cited two people briefed on the Thursday Oval Office meeting with lawmakers. Trump, in vulgar terms, rejects bipartisan immigration proposal at White House meeting

When lawmakers in the meeting floated restoring Temporary Protected Status for some immigrants, Trump grew frustrated and shocked the lawmakers with his "shithole" comment in reference to African countries and Haiti, according to the Post. Trump then suggested the US should bring in more people from countries like Norway, the report said. A person briefed on the meeting told CNN that Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin was running through a proposal listing countries that would be covered by TPS protections in exchange for ending the visa lottery. The person said when Durbin got to Haiti, Trump began to ask why we want people from Haiti in the US and asked why we want more Africans. The President then said, according to this person, why do we want all these people from "shithole countries" coming here -- and added that the US should get more people from countries like Norway.

Most people coming from shithole countries know they are shithole countries and that’s why they left the shithole countries.

All of us know shithole countries when we see them. Just follow the trail of squatters pouring over our southern border back to its source, and there is a shithole country.

I’m sick of the two-faced, spineless, gutless, treasonous, corrupt, amoral political vermin inhabiting our government at every level in DC and everywhere else in this country down to dog catchers.

Yeah me too.

Exactly, however, MARXIST MEDIA COMPLEX is using this remark (that was leaked) to call Trump a racist.

Trump and his voters are sick of the cost of illegal immigration from FAILED states, aka, “shi+ hole countries”, promoted by the Obama/Clinton/Soros /UNIPARTY, who for the last eight years desperately tried to collapse capitalism and our Republic.

Will I get in trouble for stating that president Trump kept the USA from being turned into a shithole country by the Obama/Clinton axis.

Just what a WHOLE LOT of us have been asking for a LONG time!

Trump is much more in touch with us and honest about it than anyone in a long long time. Maybe ever.

Great question that deserves an answer. What are all these people from shithole countries doing here? Why should we let them in our house? They can’t even take care of their own.

Isn't there an area in Florida called "little Haiti?" So much for assimilation.
