Our country is the land of opportunity. Immigrants land here seeking opportunities and a better life. The Germans did it. The Irish did it. It is strange to say we don’t like people from X countries simply because these countries lack the freedoms and/or prosperity we Americans enjoy. Or, to borrow Trump’s word, that is a “****hole” attitude that is the polar opposite of all that we hold dear as Americans.
Actually no. We get to decide the terms of who comes here, and how many. We are not obligated to take any immigrants whatsoever if we choose. For some reason you think foreigners have a right to immigrate here. They do not and finally we are getting this message across.
I wonder how many of those that support referring to these places as shi*holes, are the same ones that would get mad at people calling their city/town a shi*hole.

Our needs were different back then and so were job opportunities, resources, etc. We had no welfare back then either you either sank or swam. Our population numbers were much smaller. Why can't you people grasp that?
Why can't you grasp humans are humans, and defining them as being from ****hole regions is totally inhuman and racist?!?!?!

I lived in NJ. It was and still is a sh!thole!
Almost as bad as the sh!tholes we are talking about...but not quite .
You are a fool if you believe that is what we are "threatened" by.
We are "threatened" by the violence and non-conforming culture they bring.
In many of their countries, rape and murder is treated as a "right".
Yeah, I don't want that here. If you do.....
Like anyone believes for a second you care about crime from immigrants. The vast majority of immigrants live in Liberal cities so acting like suddenly you care about stopping crime in Boston, New York, Atlanta, LA IS laughable.
African immigrants and West Indian immigrants are some of the most highly educated groups in America. And that trend continues into their first generation.
As a group, Nigerians, Ghanaians, Haitians turn out more mathematicians, doctors, engineers, lawyers, businessmen than whatever good ol' boy club is hunkered down in W. Virginia.
As a group, the meth and opioid epidemic running through the Appalachians is more of a threat to society than the work ethic and good grades that an African cab driver instills in his children.

These thoughtful comments don’t pack the same punch as “X country is a ****hole”. If you want to appeal to these intellectually less fortunate posters, you are better off rattling off gross generalizations while incorporating colorful vocabulary like “****hole”. Anything more nuanced or complex you’ll have lost them.
