Nowadays It is very rare that a day goes by here without the President of the United States saying something that someone, somewhere would find offensive. He’s just done it again.
President Donald Trump reportedly questioned in a 
White House meeting on Thursday why the United States should accept immigrants from “s***hole countries,” referring to Haiti, El Salvador, and African countries. “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Trump said, as per the Washington Post’s report.
These comments were passed during an immigration meeting with a bipartisan group of lawmakers that alarmed and mystified the people attending the meeting.
The senators had suggested that the diversity visa lottery program, which hands out roughly 50,000 visas annually, be partially reallocated to immigrants already living in the US whose protections under a humanitarian program are being terminated by the Trump administration. The president and lawmakers are in the midst of intense negotiations about how to shield nearly 800,000 “dreamers” from deportation. The White House did not deny the account of Trump’s use of language, but instead suggested the president was “fighting for permanent solutions” that strengthen the nation, in part through the use of a merit-based immigration system.
Certain Washington politicians choose to fight for foreign countries, but President Trump will always fight for the American people,” White House spokesman Raj Shah said in a statement. Some Democrats seized on Trump’s slur to suggest he is anti-immigrant.
“We always knew that President Trump doesn’t like people from certain countries or people or certain colours,” congressman Luis Gutierrez said.
“We can now we say with 100% confidence that the president is a racist who does not share the values enshrined in our Constitution.”
