Washington Post: Trump attacks protections for immigrants from ‘shithole’ countries like Haiti

[jillian]

Rep. Mia Love (R-Utah), the daughter of Haitian immigrants and the first black female Republican elected to Congress, called President Trump's vulgar description of Haiti, El Salvador, and African countries "divisive" and "elitist."

Trump called the nations "shitholes" during a meeting Thursday with lawmakers, and in a statement, Love said his comments were "unkind" and "fly in the face of our nation's values. This behavior is unacceptable from the leader of our nation." Love said her parents "proudly took an oath of allegiance to the United States and took on the responsibilities of everything that being a citizen comes with. They never took a thing from our federal government. They worked hard, paid taxes, and rose from nothing to take care of and provide opportunities for their children. They taught their children to do the same. That's the American Dream."

Everyone in the US is a descended from immigrants, unless we're native American. And very few people immigrating here came because they liked where they were before.

But Trump voters especially see an America where people are pitted against one another. Someone is taking their shit. The other view, the Reagan-Kennedy liberalism America is made up of people with shared beliefs of individualism and community.

But probably, Trump was just trying to show "strength" when the immigration hardliners were telling not to compromise on DACA. And calling places "shit holes" is "strength" in the Trumpworld.

Or simply another case of fraud by Democrats.
I've lost count on how many this makes.

quiet, bitgot muddy. you haven't said anything that wasn't racist in years.

the person in the White House isn't supposed to be trash like you

From the beginning, people came here for freedom & opportunity. People came here to escape oppressive governments. But there's been a change. In recent years, too many have come here to suck off of our government. We have every right to keep those people out. And we should.

What Trump should've said: "Look, there are shithole countries in the world that espouse values anathema to American values. We welcome any who want to escape these shitholes, but not if they come looking for government hand outs. Only if they come seeking freedom & opportunity."

Here is my list of African countries that are NOT shitholes:

I've been to both nations. Beautiful scenery in the unpopulated areas. Beautiful people, have a lot of new friends now. There is good reason the people from these nations wish to immigrate to America.

This is a person making mud cakes to sell for a penny. It is just what it says. It is mud. Form it and let the sun dry it into a hard cake. Parents feed it to their children to fill their stomachs so they stop crying from hunger because their is no food. I keep one on my desk as a reminder.

In 2016 El Salvador was named the worlds most violent nation not at war. Armed guards followed us wherever we went. A lot of places we were not allowed to go. At least a dozen armed guards surrounded our hotel each night.

So sad. So you would you call Haiti a "shithole?" Or a country with hungry people?

You going to vacation there this summer?
Question answered.

Question stunningly NOT answered. You said you've spent time there, made a lot of friends there. You don't plan to forget how hungry they are. So, do you call them a "shithole" and want to deny them a chance to immigrate here?

Do being hungry qualify all humans to come to America?

Perhaps it's a good reason why they would like to, and NO, not all humans. Just those who pass our strict immigration requirements as always apply.

Then you agree with Trump. Did you vote for him?

 

[Defiant1]

He was right. Haiti is a shithole

Behavior and language unbecoming a president of the United States.
And that’s putting it mildly.

That may have been true at one time, but Obama blew all those traditions out of the water.

It's open season now.

Don't like it, blame your black messiah.

 

[basquebromance]

Trump has now denied making the statement

"Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said “take them out.” Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!" - President Trump

 

[basquebromance]

President Trump, don't deny that you said the word "shithole." There's nothing wrong with you saying it. Own it. Explain it to the American people, because millions & millions of the American people understand perfectly well why you said it. You said it. We get it.

There ARE shithole countries in the world. It's not about race. It's about corrupt, Socialist governments oppressing & stealing from their people. We welcome all who want to escape their shithole countries, but only if they come for freedom & opportunity. Not for big government.

if this story is true, i like President Trump even more!

Trump attacks protections for immigrants from ‘shithole’ countries in Oval Office meeting

I know, right?

What's the big deal?

We all know Trump and the Republicans are racists.

The only Republicans I trust are those that admit to who they are. The ones who stand up and say, "Yea, we hate minorities and non whites". You can trust them because they aren't lying. Or dissembling.

I say put it all out there and let everyone know who you are.

Shithole is no more a racist term than you are a rational human being.

You're right. She's not. A racist believes what they believe. Very few can change, or even want to change. You can't reason with these people. They won't believe facts beyond what supports their sick point of view. The only option is to defeat them. That's it. That's what it takes.

Vindication and the GOP

No, I don't agree with Trump that those people should be sent home. They are not illegal. I think you're confused.

I don't call those nations shithole. At least not in public. Like Trump. I don't give a damn what people say in private. I care about what they say and do in public.

I don't deny them a chance to immigrate here either, another stupid strawman. Every nation has immigration laws. If I were to leave America to the one nation I would go to (New Zealand) I would have to be of working age and a skilled job already hired for. Being retired I am required to have $10M if I wish to stay more than 3 months.

It will be interesting to see Liberals fall all over themselves to praise Love when they really loathe her for being a Black Female Conservative who converted to Mormonism. She is a traitor to the Democratic Party.

Are there no prisons? Are there no work houses?

[mudwhistle]

I once worked with a guy who was originally from El Salvador.

He hadn't been back for many years, so he took a weeks vacation to visit his relatives.

When he came back to work. The guy told me the whole country had become extremely dangerous. That MS-13 gangs roamed the streets, and even the local people were too scared to leave their house's at night because of all the robbery and murders.

And that he doubted he would ever visit his former country again. ....

This just means that Socialism is working....
