RE: Shiatholes
Yes, there are shithole countries. Just like there are shithole cities and shithole neighborhoods. They're the ones that are corrupt, run down, and crime infested.

Many Coastal goons think the entire Midwest and South are foreign country, flyover deplorables , pond scumb. Who care what They think.
High-ranking elected officials should be held to a higher standard than late-nite comedians, media columnists, political cartoonists, cable news talking heads, etc.
Before we get too high up on that horse, let's remember this was said behind closed doors. Some of the language presidents have used behind closed doors is pretty crude.
Hillary calling voters deplorable was done *AT A SPEAKING EVENT*
Actually, Trump and his supporters are proving her right. Racism is deplorable. Enabling racism is deplorable.
Unless you'd like to argue that racism isn't deplorable. In which case deplorable would also be an apt description but I'd argue that racist would be the more exact label.
BTW, Hillary didn't call white voters deplorable. She called Trump supporters deplorable.
Can't you do any better than this? Fake racism strawman? You are just proving that the left can't make coherent arguments.

Trump wasn't talking about a specific country and its peoples, either...but don't let that pesky fact get in the way of your TDS.

GOOD. That means our LEGAL immigration is working then.
LOL that you actually think that any significant changes ever occurs to our legal immigration practices.
Trump didn't distinguish between Haitians or Salvadorans or Africans in his statement. His policy doesn't either. Just sayin'
You already know that nothing of major significance will happen to our current legal immigration system. IDGAF what Trump says when he makes one off remarks via twitter or the quick off the cuff blurbs in the heat of the moment. We already know - in practice given his year in office - that the actual policies crafted are more substantial and nuanced.
I wish Trump would think more before he engages his brain. I know that stink and others think that a lot of his half cocked statements are by design and meant to destabilize his opponents. I don't think that's the case - he's just impulsive sometimes with snap remarks. However, I think common sense alone tells you that his desire is for the legal immigrants to be highly skilled and have a desire to work. I have zero doubt in my mind that Trump would prefer one more Ethiopian Doctor over one more unemployed white guy from Liverpool, UK.
I seriously believe that Trump would prefer the unemployed white guy over the Ethiopian doctor.
And there's the rub.... you "believe", you don't "know".

RE: Shiatholes
Mia Love, GOP congresswoman from Utah is an Haitian family that migrated to the US. She seems really educated, and successful. Her case proves that Trump is wrong about these countries and the people in them. You have some very successful people from Haiti, El Salvador, Mexico, and from the African countries that they became doctors, serving the country, lawyers, and so forth. Some of these people are very smart that we should welcome. The people of Haiti, after the earthquake, have called out that they want to be a US state because of corrupt politicians and that they need law enforcement to cut down the crime in their country. If they become a US state? Haiti would not be shithole like they are today, and it did not helped when they had earthquakes and hit by number of hurricanes. It would be nice to give statehood to Haiti, Jamaica, US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Their lives would improve than they are right now. They are tourist countries that US people go to.

I don't care if those territories become states, but as US citizens they should be given the right to vote in federal elections, and be full taxpayers accordingly.

That's a different subject entirely. Territories vs vacation destinations that are independent countries aren't even debatable.
