According to The Washington Post, when US lawmakers presented to President Trump on Thursday the idea of restoring protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations as part of a bipartisan immigration bill, Trump reportedly replied:
“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?”
Based on two people briefed on the president’s meeting with lawmakers, the president then suggested the U.S. should admit more immigrants from places like Norway.
