Raise your hand if you're from a sh*thole country! 🙋

So are you saying that you hate America? If you do I would be honored to buy you a one way plane ticket to either Cuba,Haiti or Iran.

First of all, you're like 12 and don't have an income, so don't pretend to be "honored" to "buy" me anything.

Secondly, I was referring to where my mom is from, Madagascar, as I bet Trump wouldn't hesitate calling it a sh*thole.

[Keep cool-idge]

Has someone informed him that America is one of the primary reasons why most of those countries are "sh**tholes"?

Has anyone told you the reason Africa is a sh*thole is because the government is basically socialist? And no America is not responsible for other countries being dumps.

Worth noting that the LBJ claim that he said he'd have blacks voting Democrat for 100 years has not been proven.

It really does sound like something a Republican operative came up with thinking it would be a clever retort whenever a Republican said something wrong.

[Holmes]

Oh good, we've reached the "Democrats are the real racists" part of the discussion.

[ProudModerate2]

Congrats democrats real winner you have here.
For example, he reportedly referred to the Civil Rights Act of 1957 as the “n-r bill” in more than one private phone conversation with Senate colleagues President LBJ.

Are you done with the "Whataboutism" yet?
Can you get back on topic.
Your attempt to stear the conversation else-where is showing.

Don’t worry I have around 200 dollars in cash

I don’t know enough about Madagascar, but you should’ve clarified that you were in fact talking about Madagascar and not America.

There isn't one single African government... there are over 50. Some are better-off than others. Usually, the reason they take so long to develop is because of corruption and dictatorship. Look at Zimbabwe. Robert Mugabe single-handedly ruined the country.

Why are you referring to Africa as one country with a single government?

This thread is absolute cancer.

Listen I’m going to list every country in Africa. But the thing is 99% of countries in Africa are socialist communist or run by Muslims that is not a real winning strategy. Then on top of that you have white racists in South Africa who treat Africans horrible. Africa not at all a place I would move to.

[anvi]

It's really a wonderful thing that the United States now stands for nothing more than its own preservation of power and privilege, and for the power and privilege only of that cross-section of citizens that Trumpists have decided in advance are "deserving."  So-called American ideals of freedom, opportunity and hope for the world...good story, bro.

Would you like to elaborate why a Muslim running a country is "not a real winning strategy"?

Mia Love's statement is brutal...

What makes it worse is that she actually visited Haiti a few weeks ago and her parents immigrated from there...

I don't understand why Trumpists like Roy Moore were pushing her to run against Romney for the senate seat... she's been far more anti-Trump than Romney since the primaries and her mind hasn't changed.

If Trump had used the term "failed states", would he be wrong?

These countries are awful places with folks unable to be self sufficient. The people there have tragic plights, but it is not the responsibility of the USA to mitigate this with mass immigration.  And if we choose to help them in their own countries, I don't want to hear about "Yankee Imperialism"

"Failed states" and "sh**thole" are not comparable. "Failed states" implies a government or political failure, "sh**thole" implies a societal or cultural failure.

What's the difference between a person from an "awful" place like Haiti and a person from a more "self sufficient" place like Norway? How is immigration from one better than the other?

Yes, I also noticed this bigoted comment from Greedo (Benjamin Harrison).
Greedo, please clarify. We are waiting.

I would have used different language. There are crappy countries all over the world. That is a fact.

[Storebought]

By definition, every refugee is from a sh**tehole country.

Beyond that, I can think of the main reasons why the US poorly attracts immigrants from already developed nations:

1. The Second Amendment. Private gun ownership, without at the very least government-mandated training, licensing, and registration, is obnoxious and is contrary to every standard of public safety and order.
2. The lack of a universal health care system.
3. Miserable US food quality standards.
4. The lack of a real transit network. Now, this isn't an absolute deal breaker as are the previous three listed items (especially the first), but it does illustrate how the US as a whole grossly misplaces its priorities.

If the GOP had any brains, they would have figured this out long before now. But because rectifying any of these issues will significantly "harm" some GOP constituency -- especially the businesses who demand a large supply and high turnover of manual labor -- they instead prefer to throw nativist tantrums instead.

I’m talking about Somalia which is majority Muslim. But look the country murders Christians and peaceful Muslims.
