Some countries literally are shitholes

Their is no reason people can't do both . And he was not just talking about the place . He was talking about the people.

 “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?

As a rule of thumb, doesn't it make sense, if you are picking randomly rather than merit-based, to prefer people from the best country in the world rather than the worst?  Isn't that just an issue of probability?

If we switched to merit based, then the Haitians who would be a great addition to the US should absolutely make the cut.  But that's not how it works.  Instead it's random, and random from countries with the amount of child rape/child slavery/violence/poor education/poverty/illness/etc... is bad for the US.

Bullshit, the GOP is in charge right now, those are the assholes who pander to bigots. Hard to get anything done for minorities with that lot in charge. 

AND AGAIN he did not mean "poorer" when he said that, he meant  "not white".

Yup . Which is why he the pointed to a majority white like Norway It has fuck all to do with poverty.

I don't know how many more times he needs to bash a majority coloured country before people catch on .

The history of the world has been unkind to people of color.  A 15yo gang member isn't a gang member just because he made a bad choice.  That's the product of centuries of oppression and injustice.  At the same time, not wanting to hire him as your babysitter doesn't make you a racist.

If you want to reverse it, I'm never picking a graduate from some shitty community college in Iowa over a graduate from any of the historical black colleges.  It's not a matter of race.  It's just probabilities.
