First off, the “shithole” remark is basically a he said/she said thing. Many claim Trump said it, many said he didn’t. And, really, the more the media and Democrats run with this, the chance for some sort of fix for the Dreamers keeps going down. But, what about around the rest of the 1st world?
Trump’s Immigration Remarks Outrage Many, but Others Quietly Agree
The Czech president has called Muslim immigrantscriminals. The head of Poland’s governing party has said refugees areriddled with disease. The leader of Hungary has described migrants as a poison.
This week, Austria’s new far-right interior minister suggested “concentrating†migrants in asylum centers — with all its obvious and odious echoes of World War II.
So when President Trump said he did not want immigrants from “shithole†countries, there was ringing silence across broad parts of the European Union, especially in the east, and certainly no chorus of condemnation.
In fact, some analysts saw the remarks as fitting a pattern of crude, dehumanizing and racist language to describe migrants and asylum seekers that has steadily edged its way into the mainstream. Coming from the White House, such words may be taken by some as a broader signal that racism is now an acceptable part of political discourse.
They love throwing around the raaaaacism word, don’t they? But, there’s a little bit of unintentional journalism in this
But the political reality is that migration has become a salient issue — and not only for right-wing, populist and nativist politicians. Across many affluent societies, people are anxious about technological change, rising inequality and stagnant wages, and they have focused their ire at the global flows of capital and, especially, labor. There are also concerns about demographic change, as the world becomes less white and as western societies age.
Moreover, the chaos and violence that have driven people from the Middle East, Southwest Asia and sub-Saharan Africa to seek to live elsewhere, even as far away as Australia and Canada, have also raised fears about refugees who do not appreciate the values of the countries hosting them — or even worse, fears of terrorists taking advantage of humanitarian policies to infiltrate societies and then carry out attacks.
Yes, people are very concerned about all these “refugees”, “migrants”, and illegal aliens streaming from shithole areas around the world into 1st world nations, bringing the same shithole values with them. In Europe, people are dealing with rape and crime epidemics, neighborhoods are being turned into 3rd world cesspools, cars are being burned, gangs run rampant, and, as much as Leftists want to dismiss it, there are no go zones where police won’t go. There are sexual grooming gangs. People are afraid to go to public swimming pools. Women are told to dress demure so they aren’t sexually harassed and even assaulted. They’re bringing their Sharia law and 9th century beliefs with them.
Sure, there are some good ones. But, how many still refuse to assimilate, and also demand that the nations change for the immigrants?
At the end of the day, nations have a responsibility to limit who they let in. Their first responsibility is to their citizens, not people bringing incompatible values

and the one’s who live in the shitholes know exactly what trump is saying.
Typical Marxist obsession with socioeconomic explanations rather than something so primitive as national sovereignty. Only bitter clingers care about such bourgeois notions, don’cha know?
<spit>
I should think that the leftists of this world would love to go live in Somalia and Chad and the Sudan. Syria and Venezuela or Brazil. but no its much easier to just open our borders and invited the trash in from these countries while raping those nations of whats left of their best and brightest. Leaving them to be truly shithole countries.
Trump didn’t say anything that was not true. It is not racist to believe that Somalia is a shithole country. Nothing about it encourages anything but violence and oppression. Here is where the left falls on their own stupid sword. They refuse to lift a finger to help these nations but will open their borders and ask millions of these people to flood into the USA so they can send them to RED states to make sure one day that the GOP and conservative values have no voice.
Communism in a nutshell.
Do you all think that Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, Oklahoma etc are shitholes?
Just go to Mexico. Terrible place. But we have similar issues with towns like Detroit. In fact any liberal city or country is a shit hole or about to become one.
Is Russia a shithole? If not, why not?
52% of deaths in Russia are due to alcoholism, they have a decades long issue with suicide, and most pregnancies end in abortion. It seems as though the Russians think that Russia is a shithole. What is your opinion on Russia?
Why didn’t tRump include Russia as a shithole?
Lets just cut to the chase. Call everyone Nazis & skinheads and be done with it. You have nothing of value to say about anything, you just repeat the same tired lies.
Nazis differ from skinheads who differ from the new occult white nationalist movement. Most of the commenters here are white nationalists who have learned to hide their intentions. tRump is your leader. We understand your fears but disagree with your policy prescriptions.

Democrats never say bad things……
Candidate tRump sold his white nationalist base on a ” big beautiful wall” of “hardened concrete, rebar and steel” (“It’s called construction”) but transparent so that Americans can see the 100 lb bales of drugs that Mexicans catapult over onto American’s heads. Now sometimes he is OK with improved fencing, like that built in San Diego during Clinton’s first term. But he lies all the time, so who knows.
tRump and the GOPhers are trying to assess whether they can blame the Dems for the shutdown the tRump movement craves.
There ya go Jeffey. I know you can’t resist calling everyone that disagrees with you “Nazis” or the like, something that would get you beat unconscious in real life.
Hillbilly,
You keep equating white nationalists with “Nazis” or the like, not me. We understand why you want to do that.
This new breed of under-the-radar white nationalist is much more sophisticated than the neo-Nazi, skinheads or the Klan. And Trump chose to become their de facto leader.
Billy,
And just because tRump is enthusiastically supported by the Klan and the neoNazis doesn’t mean tRump belongs to either group, just that they think his policies will help their cause or something.
Unsurprisingly, you don’t know the meaning of the slurs you make.
Do you consider white nationalism a slur rather than a description?
We know what we see and hear from tRump and his supporters. They favor a nation catering to caucasian, conservative christians. The fear on the right has been palpable for many years – the fear that “their” America is being replaced by and America of Jews, Blacks, gays, Muslims, atheists, liberals and Mexicans. tRump is their new savior.
Look up the word “slur”.
That was my point – feelings. Do you feel slurred by the label “white nationalist”?
