The president has always been a racist. The issue is that he now has the power to make policy based on prejudice.
I am the daughter of two immigrants who moved our family to the United States for a better life and richer opportunities.
I am an immigrant.
I am a former White House aide.
I am Haitian-American.
And on Thursday, President Trump called my homeland a "s-hole."
And they’re not just comments: they’re the basis for Trump’s mass deportation policy.
That racism underlies this administration's thinking on immigration is thoroughly unsurprising. Donald Trump’s legacy is not simply speckled with incidents of racism; it itself is racist. Donald Trump entered the business world as a racist, he entered the 2016 election as a racist, and he entered the White House as a racist.
The only thing that differentiates Trump from many of his Republican allies is that he is willing to name the source of his motivations aloud, and often in public, whereas many Republicans in Congress would rather pander to the white supremacist anti-immigrant movement while pretending that’s not what their policy positions are about.
A good way to start is for all of us to make it clear to members of Congress that we want them to reject Trump’s racism and all the policies that stem from it, to pass a clean DREAM Act now (rather than catering to his racism and agreeing to restrictions on other immigrants to get protection for DREAMers) and to protect from deportation those who had been covered by the TPS program that Trump is determined to end.

...and your country of origin is a crap hole.
Then why aren’t you living there, making it a better place?................
If your country isn’t a shithole, then go back to it.
I bet a search for Donald Trump and racist pre-2010 would not produce too many references.
“And they’re not just comments: they’re the basis for Trump’s mass deportation policy.”
When has the President ever called for “mass deportations” of legal immigrants like yourself, Ms. Jean-Pierre?
Karine Jean-Pierre, FU. Go back to your pathetic crap hole or whatever you call it and take the Kenyan with you.
Gee I dont remember the outrage when Obama referred to Netanyahu as a CHICKEN SH*T..gee was THAT racist..not a peep from the Commie media about that one..and these liberal elitists that trash talk our President.Id LOVE to see where they live..I bet all white rich neighborhoods..they want the filth in they just don’t want to have to live among them
“racist” = big old meanie. OK, I get it: you don’t like him. Move on, please.
I see. Totally unbiased.
If her country wasn’t such a shithole, she wouldn’t be here. Since she says that it is not a shithole, she should immediately return to Haiti so she doesn’t have to be exposed to such racism in the US.
>When has the President ever called for “mass deportations” of legal immigrants like yourself, Ms. Jean-Pierre?
I’m calling for it now. We don’t need disloyal, ungrateful, people like little miss craphole in America.
Make Hattie Less of a S-hole!
Just does have the same ring to it.
Democrats are afraid Trump will actually HELP minorities so they will continue to push the Racist line.
Haiti is a “$hit hole” I dont care if Trump was talking about Africa, Haiti is still a shit hole and I cannot think of one thing ever contributed to this country by any haitian immigrant except getting on welfare, Why don’t you get you ass back to your beloved shit hole.
Anybody notice that the attacks on Trump are coming coordinated and bunched?
Anyway PDJT ought to double down and reiterate what shit holes these places are. Tucker Carlson did a good job for him last night. Trump should go with that and if his chief of staff doesn’t like it then tough shit.
