Fear, by Bob Woodward: on Immigration


Donald Trump: Why are we having people from sh--hole countries come here?

Graham began walking through the plan, which included the money Trump asked for on the border security. It was not enough, Trump said, condescendingly. Graham said he was sure they could do more but this is where they started. And he mentioned 25,000 visas from mostly African countries. He turned to the visas in such places as Haiti and El Salvador because of Earthquakes, famine, and violence.

"Haitians," Trump said. "We don't need more Haitian's." At that and mentioned of immigrants from African countries. "Why are we having all these people from sh--hole countries come here?" He had just met with the Prime Minister from Norway. Why not more Norwegians? Or Asians who could help the economy.
