Oh please, if a conservative claimed this, you guys would say - correctly - that America brought in immigrants due to a need for labor and treated them like crap. Africans were slaves, Chinese not much better off.

Actually, if a conservative said that, I'd reply, 'Who are you and why are you disguised as a conservative?'

Here's a radical idea stop fucking over countries like Haiti every time they look to improve themsels. Stop backing military dictatorships. Stop funding islamist terrorists. Stop thwarting the democratic will of other countries.
Why yes sir, I shall get right on that immediately! 
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

They are shithole countries, but I still think the people of those countries should be helped and I don't have a problem with the immigration. If they were turning the US to shit then it would make sense not to want them to come, but I don't think they're doing that. The US will be just fine.
I do find it pretty amusing though that the MSM is literally shedding tears on the air (several anchors coming to tears on CNN alone) over the shithole comment, while they continue to prop up the invasion and occupation of many of these shithole countries. Talking about shithole countries? Unacceptable and racist, but the media praises Trump's decision to strike and occupy Syria. lol some resistance there.

DAMN,
45's usage of that word was not, "They are not doing economically well." It was about RACE. No matter how bad a country might be doing economically, it is STILL wrong to assume the guilt of the individual that might seek a better life by coming here. 45 has SHIT on Puerto Rico, whom ARE part of our nation.
When he called them "shitholes" he was pandering to the same bigoted assholes who he called "good people". He means, "Don't migrate here unless you are white."

Does being from a shithole country mean we shouldn't take someone in? Funny, I thought our principles were exactly the opposite:
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”
― Emma Lazarus (on the Statue of Liberty)
