He was REJECTING black and Hispanic immigrants with that comment.

Just the ones from **** hole countries. El Salvador is not Argentina, is not Costa Rica, is not Colombia.

Indeed:

Under Obama that was true ...his Administration was the most corrupt in U.S. history (and that has been said by none other than the former Speaker and historian, Newt Gingrich).

Apparently, you only watch CNN and MSNBC. Do you even have an ounce of awareness of the level of corruption in the Obama Whitehouse, from using a phony "dossier" as grounds for getting a FISA Warrent which was then used to spy on not only Donald Trump and his campaign team, but later, the transition team, and private citizens! Never before in American history has our government been so corrupt.

Then we have the Uranium One Deal, which paid millions to the Clinton Foundation, and to the Clintons personally. Seven out of nine members of the CFIUS board had connections to the Clinton Foundation.

Of Mueller's team, all are big Clinton donors, and some were also involved in the Uranium One deal.

Clinton weaponized the FBI, the IRS, and the Justice Department against US citizens.

If you watched anything but CNN, you might be up to speed on some of these things.

Rasmussen just reported a 46% approval rating for Trump, among likely voters. We haven't seen a figure that high for a long time.
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports®

The word is out: Don't send your losers from your sh*thole countries. If you fight for ISIS, surrender or die. The President will look out for American interests.
It's pretty simple.

yes, I do, why? Because they are corrupt....go to any of those countries and come back and tell me they aren't **** holes. If those countries are so good, why are people floating over on rafts trying to get out of those countries. you don't know a darn thing, nothing. Educate yourself...and then come back and make an argument.....

Sorry you are so ignorant.
You are laughably incorrect. He is a bigot - he hates people who are different for stupid reasons. And his sanity is questionable.

Your ignorance of European history is also laughable. You missed everything from the Dark Ages to WW2, unless you consider Germany in that form an "advanced society." Typical right-winger.

So,you're confused why people are leaving terrible nations to come to a better one? Come on, people - you can't possibly be that clueless!

Immigrants escaping "sh*thole countries" are the people who created America! Or, do you think they all traveled here because they wanted to struggle in a harsh wilderness, fight Native Americans, and starve to death in the winter? Good lord, the ignorance!

Nothing is new under the sun with the latest round of bigots who expect American's tolerance towards foreigners to extend just far enough to cover them and their ancestors, but not an inch more.

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

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

"Somebody" needs to do "something" about all those Catholics, Irish, Germans, Italians, and Asians who are coming here and "ruining America!"

Are we done yet? Can we stop playing the right-wing fool and pretending that "MY ancestors came here because, uh... they loved America, yeah... but YOURS came here because their homeland sucks, so they must also suck!"
