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 shithole 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.

>> There’s a reason why there’s so many evil fat women in government. Where else would they be if government didn’t want them? They have nothing going on for them, except their membership in the Democratic party machine. The party gives them all they have, the same way the Communist party had given everything to that average peasant kid who became a middling bureaucrat in Moscow. And don’t even get me started with hostile Muslims or Transexuals. Those people used to be expelled or taken into asylums, pre-1960. Which is why American Progressivism likes them so much. The little these people have depends completely on the Left’s patronage. There’s a devil’s bargain there: the more naturally repulsive someone else, the more valuable it is as a party member, as its loyalty will be all the stronger. This is of course what’s behind Larry Auster’s First Law of minority relations: the worse a group behaves, the more the Left likes it.

This is also why the Left today is the same Left that was into Soviet Communism back in the day. What they approve of today would scandalize any 1920s Leftist. Even 1950s Leftist. But it’s all the same thing, following the same incentives: how to build a cohesive ruling class to monopolize state power. It used to be class struggle. Now it’s gender-struggle and ethnic struggle. Ethnic struggle works in America because immigrants have no territorial power base, unlike in Russia or China. So the old game of giving status to low-status minorities works better than ever. It works even better, unlike Lenin’s Russia, America has now access to every single minority on earth. Which is why the American left is busy importing as many Somalis as they can. The lowest performing minority on earth. Just perfect. <<

that's the tragedy of this Trump administration. he is 99% ineffectual because he's demented and unstable as FUCK.

mostly his views on immigration and other shit just serve as fodder for 180s, but we're not gonna see a lot in the way of results sadly

we want people to come here who want to be American, not people who happen to live in shitholes. when they leave, those places remain shitholes and we become one.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3856431&forum_id=2#35134703)

all i'm saying is that it doesn't have to be that they want to take shithold immigrants by design. that's naturally who does and always has immigrated.

that said, browns will destroy this country, and that's the difference between the current wave and previous (white) waves of immigrants. browns from mud countries simply don't have the IQ to be americans. the problem is libs don't want to acknowledge this.

these two statements have the same functional implications:

'we want to take in X million immigrants'

and

'we want to take in 99%*X million immigrants from shithole countries'

euros would want to come to america if europe were 165 and usa were 180

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3856431&forum_id=2#35134735)

at best, america would be a couple of points above europe if it were 99% white (which it never will be)

If we cut off immigration tomorrow and we deported and made life miz for all the illegals, it would 100% have an effect.

I don't need the USA to be 180 compared to Switzerland, but I do need it to be like 160. Fewer people from shitholes helps that dramatically.

I also said under the right circumstances. I would not move to Germany right now. It was just an example of a country I could see myself moving to under he right circumstances, even if where I live presently is still a decent country.

As a counterexample, I like Japan, but I would NEVER move there.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3856431&forum_id=2#35134841)

but that's exactly my point. the vast majority of people would rather stay in their homeland at 160 than move to another country at 175. most people have too much to lose from leaving behind their communities and families.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3856431&forum_id=2#35134866)

sorry, but most people are not rootless cosmopolitans who would permanently move to another continent for a 20% raise or QOL improvement. the europeans who want to immigrate to america already can and do, and it's a tiny number. halting america's decline by closing the gates to muds won't make them want to come to america unless and until europe also becomes a shithold.

doesn't mean closing the gates to muds isn't a good thing to do. it absolutely is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_emigration_to_the_United_States

Norwegian immigration through the years was predominantly motivated by economic concerns. Compounded by crop failures, Norwegian agricultural resources were unable to keep up with population growth, and the Homestead Act promised fertile, flat land. As a result, settlement trended westward with each passing year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Americans#Organized_immigration

In Sweden, the year 1867 was known as Storsvagåret (The Year of Great Weakness) and, in Tornedalen, as Lavåret (The Lichen Year) because of the bark bread made of lichen.[2] It contributed to the great rush of the Swedish emigration to the United States.[2]

...

The great famine of 1867-68, and the distrust and discontent of the way the authorities handled the relief help to the needy, is estimated to have contributed greatly to the Swedish emigration to the United States, which skyrocketed around this time.

Does it help anything to call these countries, whose people we don't want but who are in large part good people, "shithole countries"? It is really embarrassing.

The comments were reminiscent of ones the president made last year in an Oval Office meeting with Cabinet officials and administration aides, where he complained about admitting Haitians to the country, saying that they all had AIDS, as well as Nigerians, who he said would never go back to their “huts,” according to officials who heard the statements in person or were briefed on the remarks by people who did. The White House vehemently denied last month that Mr. Trump made those remarks.
