For comparison, take Baltimore. By all accounts one of America's most violent cities, it's murder rate was 65 per 100,000 last year. Astonishingly high. Now double that and apply to an entire country and you have El Salvador.

El Salvador has a serious gang problem. Most of those gangs were founded by Salvadorans who joined gangs in the good ole USA and then were deported.

What's your point?
The point is that the US has a sh*thole 'leader'.

he's right. it's common knowledge that when norwegians are deported, they return to their home country and join gangs and kill each other.

You are a class A idiot. We aren't deporting Norwegians because they don't want to be in our shithole country.
So you're saying America should take in more people from El Salvador to rescue them from that situation, right?
None of these saints of good manners and immigrant-welcoming give half a snot or even know about which foreigners the United States just bombed or just how many countries it is currently invading. But oh boy the virtuous outrage they'll signal if someone utters a mean, insulting word in a non-public setting! Can't have that.
Most sophomoric people on Earth, by a long shot. Probably won't ever realize it, even 20 or 30 years from now they'll be convinced they knew what they were talking about.

Ironically, it is you that is missing the point.

Everything that the president says in meetings with congressmen is a public setting.
And it isn't just the word, it was the whole sentence and the ramifications of the sentence.
He defined certain people as lesser humans based on where they are from and wanted to deny them opportunities that he wished to afford to others.

If I lived in a sh!thole I would feel better about the leader of the free world being honest about it, than the ClintonBush Haiti fund and empty promises to help me in my sh!thole.
So, if its not a sh!thole does that mean we don't need to care about Haitian's?
Everyone calls NJ a sh!thole. I've never been but I assume two things: 1.) there is probably some truth to it, 2.) Haiti's got to be worse.
I grew up in New Jersey until my parents moved us to Virginia.
Virginia didn't have any problem with us moving there, didn't try to stop us.
The governor of Virginia certainly didn't refer to Jersey as a sh!thole.

What is a "shithole" country? One where the police shoot innocent citizens dead in the street with impunity? One where the wealthiest individuals in the world reside but where many of its citizens are still without power months after being struck by a hurricane? One that ranks 26th in the world for infant mortality behind (bankrupt) Greece? One that houses 22% of the world's prisoners even though it makes up 4% of the world's population? One that leads the world in illegal drug use? One where little children get gunned down at school and the 'leaders' do nothing to stop massacres like that happening again?

He just says what most people secretly think. You don't see any liberals flocking to live in Haiti or Somalia, do you? Why is that? Why won't you move you and your family there? Are you racist? Do you think they are s**tholes too?

By the way, Virginians are sick of NY/NJ/MD libs fleeing their crappy leftist states, only to instill their crappy leftist politics on our beautiful state. GTFO you filthy carpetbagger.

The governor of Virginia does think Jersey is a sh!it hole though. Everyone does.
Oh, I'm in more liberal Maryland now.
Ironically I have a Republican governor while Virginia elected a Democrat, going against Trump's Republican endorsement.
Virginia was reliably red until Obama showed up.
Trump didn't even win Virginia.
And now they are electing transgendered Democrat representatives.
North Carolina flirted Dem in Obama's first term
Trump's incompetence will flip NC back to blue.
And maybe Georgia, too.
Central America as a whole has this issue. It is tied to the deadly mix of narco trafficking and poverty. Most Salvadorians I have met have been extremely nice people, and their pupusas are delicious.

What sh*thole did your ancestors come from? Must have been pretty bad for them to come here. Are you happy they had the chance to come or do you think they should have been kept out for coming from their sh*thole country ?
