IMO, people like Trump, Hillary etc, have never had to struggle for anything or do any sort of work that made them break a sweat. And they will never know so they all assume that people who are fleeing these countries are the worst of the worst that's NOT they want a better life for themselves. And who wouldn't?
Can tell me that you would try to move some place better if you came from one of these place.
And what Trump said was this " He said I ASSUME some are good people." This nation was built BY those who came from other countries.
I want a better life and wonder if liberals would subsidize my moving to a mansion in their neighborhood.
This is the problem with posters who make wild statements without documentation besides their own imaginations. I would sincerely love to see research that opposes what I have already. Even in my sources there is disagreement, misspellings and phonetic spellings of places and tribes written down three or four hundred years ago that have to be further researched to confirm, and differing reports on various tribes that probably depended in large part on how the Indians were treated during the encounter. They were for the most part quite friendly and eager for company, and would share whatever they had, but they were not prone to accepting a lot of abuse from white men who looked down their noses at "savages".
In short, the poster missed an opportunity to educate and advance his theories in order to troll a post. Sad.
Yes, they are nations with a lot of poverty and corruption. I don't think anyone denies that.
What civilized people are reacting to is that: (1) the President blanket-denigrating immigrants from these countries is unfair,
You might wanna brush up on your English. A person can't be a "****hole", a place could. People, place, get it? How would someone who almost died fleeing their country describe where they came from? Take your pick:charming, picturesque, beautiful, heavenly, gorgeous, peaceful or scenic. Let me think. Hmm, oh yeah, that's it. How about ****hole, or hellhole as the "outraged" senators used to call it before Trump.
If Trump were wrong, then why don't all the Haitian refugees want to return back to their island? It is a sh*thole country where the only "nice" areas are the ones designated for tourism because tourism is such an important part of Haiti's economy... that an all the US dollars that the Haitians in America send back to their families.
And Africa is a sh*thole continent. Otherwise, why are so many Africans trying to escape to Europe? Instead, why don't Africans in crisis try to immigrate to a better African country? Or why doesn't some of the "successful" African countries open their doors to these African refugees?
In Africa, slavery and genocide are still being practiced. That and many parts believe witch doctors instead of real medicine (like in Zimbabwe where they persecute and kill albinos). Also, in Africa, they practice female circumcision, have child brides, and in the slums, women at night get raped in the public toilet buildings.
And Haiti and in African continent, the majority of the human inhabited areas do not have sewage systems, so yes, literally they are sh*tholes.
I would truly love for Haiti and the African continent to NOT be sh*tholes, and for their people to be happy, successful and staying in their own countries.
Many people in Africa live happy lives and do not want to come to the Europe and the United States.
Of course, it’s hard for people like you to fathom this fact. Same goes for the Caribbean islands and many parts of Asia and the Americas.
And no Africa is not a ****hole continent, even with the problems it has, it’s beautiful.
Trump said what most people including liberals think. My problem with it is he has a job to do and this harms him and his agenda. If he continues down this path of saying outrageous things and keeping the circus in town constantly I'll be ready for Mike Pence.
Many people who are well traveled and exposed to various cultures other outside of their own do not think like Donald Trump.
