Conservative pundits on Thursday backed President Donald Trump's comments ripping protections from immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries, with Fox News host Tucker Carlson tweeting that those from El Salvador "should be sent home immediately."

Here is his post:

@TuckerCarlson
Option A: El Salvador isn't a "shithole," so they don't need 17
years of Temporary Protected Status, and migrants from there
should be sent home immediately. Option B: El Salvador is, in
fact, a "shithole."

The Washington Post reported reported Trump grew frustrated in a bipartisan meeting on immigration as lawmakers floated the idea of restoring protections for immigrants from Africa, El Salvador, and Haiti.

"Why are we having all these people from s**thole countries come here?" Trump said, according to the Post, referring to the African countries and Haiti.

The newspaper cited two unnamed sources who were briefed on the session.

Trump's remarks brought strong support from other Fox hosts, including Jesse Watters.

"It's either fake news or, if it's true, this is how the forgotten men and women in America talk at the bar," Watters said on "The Five" news program.

"This is how Trump relates to people.

PDJT stole the $hithole line from me. I have been saying that for at least 32 years. It’s OK though; I will let him use with no qualms! ;-)

DHS asks State Department to suspend visas for countries who won’t accept US-deported citizens
Washington Examiner ^ | Aug 23, 2017 | Anna Giaritelli / FR Posted by 11th_VA

The Trump administration is considering suspending the visas of some citizens in countries who have “refused to accept or unreasonably delayed the return of its nationals,” according to multiple reports Wednesday evening.

Cambodia, Eritrea, Guinea, and Sierra Leone have refused to take back people in the U.S. who are in the country illegally and been cleared by immigration courts for removal, according to the Washington Times.DHS requested in a letter to the State Department that it suspend visas to some citizens from the four countries, though it’s not known who would be affected.

“When we receive such notification, the Department of State works to implement a visa suspension as expeditiously as possible in the manner the secretary determines most appropriate under the circumstances to achieve the desired goal,” a State official told Fox News. While a presidential candidate, Trump promised to take more action to get countries to take back people the U.S. sought to deport. Eight of the 20 countries that had fought the change are now working with the U.S. government to take back their citizens.

“The secretary [of State] is having conversations with those countries. We want to bring those countries into compliance. We want those countries to be able to take back their citizens,” the State official said. “We are having different levels of conversations with those countries and imposing different things upon them based on what we think will work best with those countries.” (Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...

His logic is inarguable.

Maybe Trump was emboldened by watching this Jordan Peterson clip:

Au contraire, I believe they are actually straw huts and / or cardboard shacks with mud floors.

Decades ago Eric Clapton was slammed for asking the same question about England: Why were they importing the underclasses of the Caribbean just to pack them into tenements in London? He was labeled a racist, and black musicians defended him; it was an economic, not racial, issue.

“The newspaper cited two unnamed sources who were briefed on the session.”

So, if I understand correctly, what this statement is saying is two unnamed sources heard this and provided second hand information to the media who reported it. In other words, the media corroborated a second hand source with another second hand source and then reported it as true. I think that is called unethical journalism.

“Tucker’s an unlikely hero of the working and middle classes but that’s who he’s becoming... Thank you Tucker.”

Two days ago, Tucker was condemning Trump for selling out America on amnesty. Make up your mind Tucker.

Sure. I like Tucker. I think a lot of Conservatives went a bit nutso because we are used to being let down by faux Conservative politicians. We have to trust Trump.
