Trump attacks protections for immigrants from ‘shythole’ countries in Oval Office meeting
President Trump grew frustrated with lawmakers Thursday in the Oval Office when they floated restoring protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as part of a bipartisan immigration deal, according to two people briefed on the meeting.
“Why are we having all these people from shythole countries come here?” Trump said, according to these people, referring to African countries and Haiti. He then suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries like Norway, whose prime minister he met yesterday.
The comments left lawmakers taken aback, according to people familiar with their reactions. Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) proposed cutting the visa lottery program by 50 percent and then prioritizing countries already in the system, a White House official said.
A White House spokesman declined to offer an immediate comment on Trump’s remarks.
Outlining a potential bipartisan deal, the lawmakers discussed restoring protections for countries that have been removed from the temporary protected status program while adding $1.5 billion for a border wall and making changes to the visa lottery system.

The administration announced earlier this week that it was removing the protection for El Salvador.
Trump had seemed amenable to a deal earlier in the day during phone calls, aides said, but shifted his position in the meeting and did not seem interested.
Graham and Durbin thought they would be meeting with Trump alone and were surprised to find immigration hard-liners such as Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), at the meeting. The meeting was impromptu and came after phone calls this morning, Capitol Hill aides said.
After the meeting, Marc Short, Trump’s legislative aide, said the White House was nowhere near a bipartisan deal on immigration.
“We still think we can get there,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said at the White House press briefing.

I doubt he leaves 100 feet of the embassy not in handcuffs or a body bag but eh
Man said fukk it, let them know.
It’s about damn time! I’ve been waiting for this day.
:Wtfmayne:
Trump is known for germaphobia, fear of other cultures and places, hates traveling, not to mention he is a white supremacist. No way he didn't say this, in one form or another.
And the second part is really telling too, of his attention span, as everyone has detailed, the last person he talked to influences his policy decision and opinions.
It just happened to be the President of Norway, so he says some idiotic statement, very much in line with his absurd patriotism/racism, "why don't Norwegians come here", because they don't fukking want to, consider us a backwards country, good for a visit, and not much else.

I don’t have a single friend from Norway who would dream of trading in their standard of living to come here
