Whatever the politics of the moment, it is how our country was founded and exemplifies the best of our immigrant nation and our values. We accept those from shithole countries *because* they are from shithole countries (like Ireland was, or Eastern Europe...the list goes on and on).

I call bullshit. There are a ton of things that happened after slavery was abolished that have contributed to the US' position. WTF did I ever do with slaves? Newsweek also estimated it as between $5.9T and $14T. Is there a real number in there somewhere? Then again, maybe trace all the ancestry of the people in Africa who pillaged villages for slaves to sell, and make them pay, too. Blame is all over the place. Hmm, a little biblical quote about the "sins of the father" come to mind. See, I can do it, too.

With the importation of the white russet potato. 
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
I think shithole is a wonderful description for a number of countries and a hand full of cities in the US as well.

Those are shitholes too! They just happen to be the shitholes from where Trump gathered his popular support.  RE: Some countries literally are shitholes

So maybe we should deport them . And take in some uber socialist Europeans to make them no longer shit holes . And i'd sooner live on any nation on earth as long as i don't have to call your Orange anal cyst my president. Or live with the embarrassment that it's residence voted for such a garbage person. Quote:Then again, maybe trace all the ancestry of the people in Africa who pillaged villages for slaves to sell, and make them pay, tooMost slaves in Africa were captives of war . Or were only in the slave trade because they were pushed into it by Europeans (Extortion , Debt ,Famine) And Americans had the option of saying no .Nor was it the Africans who made them slaves in the United States . Just to play devil's advocate .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Probably not my shithole trailer park. LOL. I'm not offended, I agree lol But this really is a shithole even for a trailer park. I know my neighbors across from here are progressive.
Hey, man. I grew up in a trailer park. I'm not saying there are no trailer park progressives... just that trailer parks are shitholes. And progressives are the exception to the rule.
