TRUMP BALKS AT 'SHITHOLE' IMMIGRATION DEAL

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Thursday balked at an immigration deal that would include protections for people from Haiti and African countries, demanding to know at a White House meeting why he should accept immigrants from “shithole countries” rather than people from places like Norway, according to people with direct knowledge of the conversation.

Mr. Trump’s remarks left members of Congress attending the meeting in the Cabinet Room alarmed and mystified. They were there discussing an emerging bipartisan deal to give legal status to immigrants illegally brought to the United States as children, the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity without authorization to discuss the explosive proceedings of the private meeting.

When Mr. Trump heard that Haitians were among those who would benefit, he asked if they could be left out of the plan, according to the people familiar with the conversation, asking, “Why do we want people from Haiti here?”.

I don't know if we can believe what the NY Times is writing about Trump because they aren't exactly unbiased when I comes to reporting about the President.

Having said that I agree mostly with what is being said here. We shouldn't be letting the poorest of the poor into the United States because that puts a burden on our social programs designed to help only a small number of the American population. Now we have something like 100 million people on some kind of government assistance program and bring in poor people will only add to those numbers and put more of a burned on working class Americans.

I really don't care where an Immigrant comes from as long as they have some basic skills like speaking english, reading, can do basic math and maybe even have a job lined up before they enter the country. Also these people should not be allow to have any type of government assistance until they are American citizens.

The best solution to help poor people in other countries is to help them in their own country instead of here. This video below explains that solution very well.
