Trump denies saying it.  
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/jan/12/donald-trump-denies-saying-sh-hole-countries-priva/
But whether he said it or not, most people would probably agree that certain countries are "shithole countries." (That's why so many people want to leave them, duh)
So, I would like to challenge the foaming mouthed media trump haters that think that Haiti and El Salvador are not "shithole countries" to pick one and go live in it for a year, and then after that time has passed, come back and tell us if they still think its not a shithole country.
			
			
			
				Two GOP senators say they don't recall Trump's 'shithole' comment at White House meeting
 http://www.latimes.com/politics/washington/la-na-pol-essential-washington-updates-two-gop-senators-don-t-recall-trump-s-1515781695-htmlstory.html
He still MAY (emphasis on MAY) have said it, BUT I should have known better than to take the lying shithole media's word for it.

I was immediately repulsed by Trump's comments about developing nations..
But, if he didn't say that, I just lost all of what little remaining respect I had for the media.

See, here's a problem.
The term "developing nations" is a complete misnomer.
They are NOT developing. That is why their citizens are running off to other countries that have done the heavy lifting of nation building.
Any "undeveloped" country now is either stagnant or sliding backwards. The principle of migration is now flawed...where once it was a benefit to all.
But like all of humanity's good ideas, it becomes exploited and corrupted to the point it becomes a bane, not a boon.

				Just tell it like it is, folks. There are shithole countries.
			
			
			
				Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Uganda, Angola, Burma, New Guinea, Columbia, Guatamela, Venezuala, Albania, Greece, Bosnia, Slovakia, Uzbeckistan, Georgia, Turkmenistan, North Korea, Cuba...the list goes on.

				yes there are shithole countries.  Most of that has to do with the terrible governments in charge of them not necessaritly the people who live there.
However, to assess something like how certain groups integrate into western societies one should look at statistics. For instance Sudanese and Somalis in Australia commit 5 times the violent crime other Australians do.  Therefore Australia (and perhaps other places) should shut their doors to the Sudanese and Somalis.   or at the very least bring in only a very very small number, and make certain they are highly educated. 
We need to be reality correct, not politically correct when we assess group behavior.  People from different places often DO behave differently.
			
			
			
				That is the essence of trumps frustration and I very much share it.  many of the people the US has been bringing in for year have been making the US a worse country not a better country.  We need to start thinking about what's good for US first, not what's good for everybody else.
Immigration should not be just a charity system (or worse a way for leftists parties to build a bigger voter base) It should benefit the host country first and foremost.
			
			
			
				You omit the numbers in relation to Lebanese migrants, who are also over-represented in crime statistics. Also aborigines.
Drug importers and dealers are more likely to be Asian than white.

				I am not qualified to draw reasoned, empirical conclusions. However, it appears to me that in no place on earth do two or more races exist peacefully and co-operatively.
Some may do it better than others, but it could be argued that racism is an inherent human attribute.
			
			
			
				BTW Along that line I saw someone post this on another website about trumps comments, and it pertains to the racial matter.

I am certainly no liberal but I live in an area where the average house costs triple what a house in the inner city would cost.  Basically I live behind an economic wall that keeps dangerous people out.  (sorry to say most are black with a little bit of hispanic thrown in, but that is reality)
The irony is that a lot of liberals who praise diversity, who would excoriate anyone saying anything bad about black culture in the inner city, nearly all live behind an economic wall that seperates them from most of the diversity they profess to loves so much.  
I guess Its much easier to be against prejudice and all the rest when you live in an ivory tower far away, where none of it effects you.

So, what is your point, Fash? I know that and parts of it can be described as shithole while there are beautiful parts too. No one said good immigrants cannot come from dysfunctional states. Plainly speaking, there are shithole countries, period.

Somalis are over represented in crime stats in Canada too. Even Africans who come here as skilled immigrants all too often have fake credentials or even fake identities. 
Sorry, immigration is not charity. There are too many great candidates from Asia, Europe and Latin America to take risks on Africa and the Middle East. But, I still say immigration should be reduced 85 per cent.

Rich progs who dictate their 'opposition to diversity is hate' should have to walk the walk. They must live and work inside the worst no go zones of cities like Marseille, Brussels, London, and Malmo.

That you and I would be in the Philippines and Taiwan respectively if that was the prevailing wisdom at the time we came here.
			 
			
			
				Is there any way to be fair to everyone though,  no, I don't think so. 
for example--Canada uses a point system, it is certainly possible that a good person could be turned away for having low points? right?
the purpose of any system, other then "let everybody in who wants in," is to guage who is likely to be an asset instead of a detriment.

				Technically the countries he mentioned are shitholes...
They arent "developing countries".
Developing means that they are developing on their own...
They are an inch away from blowing themselves to pieces.

				Lol I dun blame Trump for calling those countries shitholes, even Hong Kong as vibrant as it looks to people that never lived there, imho that city is what I would consider as another shithole, if it wasn't for my family living there, I wouldn't shed a single tear if one day the US or mainland China decided to nuke that place.
			
			
			
				I've never thought of HK as a shithole. 
Crammed, busy, noisy and maybe a little ramshackle in places, its still a vibrant and interesting part of the world.
			
			
			
				Oh come on. Every place has a shithole. It does not bother me when people say the Philippines is a shithole. I've been there. I know the places that look like shitholes and then I know of the beautiful places that exist there too.
Hong Kong has many nice areas but it sure has shitholes too.

				Parts of the US are shitholes.  Detroit is known for being a shithole.  Parts of Chicago and other major cities in the US are shitholes. 
Most of them are cities with a long history of democrat control.
			
			
			
				Quote from: "Fashionista"

I disagree. At the time we came here to the West, there were westerners then who already considered Philippines and Taiwan as shitholes. This is not a new concept just because Trump said it recently. This is something many westerners already believed to be true from time immemorial.
It's like Trump's comment about someone being a lightweight. These "shithole" countries he was referring to are countries that basically are lightweight countries. They are not the "heavy" countries that can make a significant contribution to the broader world because they do not have the wherewithal. They have other resources but not parallel to the USA and the other heavy weight countries. Mind you, I do know that the Philippines is slowly catching up to the heavy weight countries but it still has a long way to go.
			 
			
			
				Quote from: "Wazzzup"

Of course. That is what I meant. Every place has shitholes that's why it is not necessary to overreact to Trump's comments because he's generalizing and I'm sure he knows that the US too has its own shitholes and Vancouver too, haha.
			 
			
			
				Instead of wanting an apology from Trump about his comment about shithole countries, people need to look around their surroundings and get real. Maybe they need to work harder at getting things done in their countries.
			
			
			
				What did not sit well with me is his comment about why not let more people in from Norway. I do not agree with that at all. I don't like that comment at all. Norwegians are just like the rest of us too. They are not better or worse but probably they have something that is working out very well for their people and that is admirable.
			
			
			
				Anyone care to guess the countries these images are from?

seems we all have our shithole areas, even the best countries.  At least most of the rest of these countries are great places to live.
			 
			
			
				Trump was thinking out loud at a behind closed doors meeting. Something along the lines of--  Why is America's iimmigarion system for charity only and leads to more people on welfare and in trouble with the law, whereas Australias and Canadas make for a better and more educated citizenry. And how can it be fixed.
Trumps motivation in my opinion is the same as many of us--stop making Americas immigration system a detriment to the country that only helps the democrat party get more votes.  If we don't fix this we aren't going to make it.  Just my opinion.

They are all from the US.
			 
			
			
				Lets cut to the nub of it--Most white western countries have a troubled population that often lives at least partially in squalor.
In Aus its the aborigines, in the US its blacks and Hispanics, in Canada its First nations canadians.
So the theory goes-if these poplulations arent doing well, then white people must really be picking on them.  **But whoops** along come Asians, many of which do better than white people, blowing the theory to pieces.  
I don't know why all this is the case, but it is.  I wish the world could admit that and work from there,. but instead we are always trying to hide this reality because  many people don't want to face it.
			
			
			
				These countries are only suffering due to European exploitation.
			
			
			
				Quote
Trump was not wrong, although he could have just called them the PC version of shithole nations = third world.
I call them shitholes also, because that is what they are.  Most people call them shitholes, because that is what they are.  LIBERALS, when asked if they would like to move to Haiti, usually refuse to answer the question.
Read my quote, and understand WHY these places are shitholes, and will ALWAYS be shitholes.
			 
			
			
				Trump knows just like most of us, that if he takes in Haitian and African immigrants, that many of them will end up in jails, dependent on government and part of Americas underclass.  Like any person who cares about their country, Trump wants people to come here who will make it better not worse.  And he is frustrated that this seems so difficult to get done.
			
			
			
				Quote from: "Wazzzup"
I didn't think, that in my lifetime, I would see a battle against Western Nations like I'm seeing now.  
I know...  THEY fucking hate us, trust me.  Some Somali?  THEY fucking hate us, just like Africa hates South African Whites.
Yet, we let them in, until they can completely take over.
			 
			
			
				I KNOW how different races react.  I KNOW Asians may not like Whites, or Arabs, or vica versa.
I KNOW the human nature.  I am a realist, that isn't hampered by religion or educational 'teachings.'
I WISH it was different, but it can never be!
I KNOW the Indians hate us.
It DOESN'T fucking matter what you do, different races of people stick to their own, and do what they do.
They DO NOT like Whitey.  NONE of them do.
We must understand this, before we flood ourselves to death with immigrants.
			
			
			
				However, our biggest enemy is ourselves...  White people are their own greatest enemy, and this is only a recent phenomenon...
			
			
			
				I'll explain why:
The reason White people have managed to do what they do, is due to their fierce independence...  They don't stick together, and have no qualms about setting out sail for an Island that may not even exist.
White people do this.  They will take this risk, disregarding family back home.
ALL other cultures come in "packs"...  They cannot do what White man does, on their own.
Now that independent White man has set up nice nations, non-white 'packs' want a little piece of the pie.
They are permitted to enter, and to do as they will...
They often recreate the same shithole that they are escaping from...  And they do it in "packs."
White people are not allowed to associate anymore in group form, since that would be deemed a "Klan Meeting."
Blacks are encouraged to associate with one another in group form, usually leading to nothing good.
			
			
			
				Just FYI it is still very much in question what Trump actually said
This Republican senator is adament that Trump didn't say it
Quote
Speaking to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on "This Week," Perdue slammed reports that Trump used the word "s---hole" to reference Haiti and Africa during a bipartisan immigration meeting on Thursday.
"I'm telling you he did not use that word, George," Perdue said. "And I'm telling you it's a gross misrepresentation."
This other republican agrees trump didn't say it

Dick Dirtbag Durbin, super lefty extremist says
Quote
There were six people in the room the only one who specifically said that Trump said this is Dirtbag Durbin
Quote
Dirtbag Durbin has lied before about  this exact kind of story
Quote
The White House and House speaker's office later denied that these claims were true, Politico reported.
based on that I would say it is in doubt what Trump actually said.  And dirtbag Durbin is a most likely a lying tattletale.  This is what Trump gets for trying to deal with democrats who he should have just shut out of the process from the beginning which is exactly what Obama did to republicans.
Hopefully this is the end of the DACA CACA charade.

We really should adopt a Canadian style system with points.  Also--Lower the rate of people coming in, and keep people from most Muslim countries out.  To me that would be the ideal solution.

Yep a dummycrat :laugh: .  BTW I saw that trump was talking about a points system back in August but have not seen mention of it since.  i don't know if he dropped ot or not and why.
I think a points syustem is a great idea, if Trump tried to implement it and the dems cried racism (which you know they would) he could just tell them to take it up with Australia and Canada.

Anything less would be waycist!

BTW This shows perfectly exactly how the left, media and democrat party operate in America

In other words they are going call people racist, and the only way you can buy your way out  of it, is to do what they want politically.  yep race card blackmail, and using the American immigration system as a political weapon.  That's the America democrat party.

the favorite tactic of the modern democrat party.
I saw that on ABC news.
			 
			
			
				Regarding Haiti, It should be noted what Rand paul said about Trump--
Versus what the clintons did to Haiti--
But I guess words matter more than deeds.  Because most of the leftists screaming Waycist about Trumps shithole comment, had nothing to say about the rich white Clintons stealing money from poor black people in Haiti.

The Clintons are covered in teflon. But, how did two hundred people in Haiti get their vision back? Did Trump pay for Christ's trip to the island?
			 
			
			
				Cataract surgery. People in poor countries with poor diets often suffer from cataracts. Its a 20 minute fix.
			
			
			
				Shithole countries.
			
			
			
				Shithole countries I have visited;
India.
Sri Lanka.
Yemen.
Egypt.
Malaysia.
Either underdeveloped, poorly governed, corrupt or all of the above.
			
			
			
				Philippines is a shithole country but I do know that some of our resorts are very much visited by Westerners. Sadly, there were tragic cases as well such as kidnappings and murder cases. The Philippines is also trying to catch up to Uncle Sam and Canada. We have many Filipinos shuttling back and forth between the Philippines and the States and Canada even Australia and they strive to bring home what they learn from abroad.
			
			
			
				Quote from: "Azhya Aryola"
I would like immigration to Canada cut by over 90 per cent. But, of the 25,000 immigrants a year and zero  refugees that I would allow into Canada, the Philippines would be a good source. My city has the largest percentage of Filipinos in Canada. They assimilate well and contribute a lot.

Using an expletive to describe a dysfunctional state, even if it did happen, is not racism. End of story.

I agree, it might not be polite but it is often true.  I bet a lot of these people who think its racism have called places shitholes (like detroit).  they just hate Trump and want to try and get him any way they can, this is just the latest trick in the trickbook.
			 
			
			
				I should do a search for hypocritical American progs who have also used expletives to describe places on a map.

There have been some recent articles about past expletives by leaders in different parties.

If you have the time, I'd appreciate it if you posted a link or two. I'll take a look tomorrow.
			 
			
			
				I can't find any examples of progtards using the same expletive that Trump is alleged to have said.

Obama called Libya a "shitshow."  That's sort of close.
I bet some have used that term. Just no one took note of it.  
Like most things, Its only a big deal when Trump does it.

conveniently missing, of course.
The democrats have nothing real to offer the voters, so any chance they get they smear trump as a racist.
