President Trump on Thursday balked at an immigration deal that would include protections for people from Haiti and some nations in Africa, demanding to know at a White House meeting why he should accept immigrants from “shithole countries” rather than from places like Norway, according to people with direct knowledge of the conversation.

Mr. Trump’s remarks, the latest example of his penchant for racially tinged remarks denigrating immigrants, left members of Congress from both parties attending the meeting in the Cabinet Room alarmed and mystified. He made them during a discussion of an emerging bipartisan deal to give legal status to immigrants illegally brought to the United States as children, those with knowledge of the conversation said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the meeting.

When Mr. Trump heard that Haitians were among those who would benefit from the proposed deal, he asked whether they could be left out of the plan, asking, “Why do we want people from Haiti here?”

The comments were reminiscent of ones the president made last year in an Oval Office meeting with cabinet officials and administration aides, during which he complained about admitting Haitians to the country, saying that they all had AIDS, as well as Nigerians, who he said would never go back to their “huts,” according to officials who heard the statements in person or were briefed on the remarks by people who had. The White House vehemently denied last month that Mr. Trump made those remarks.

In a written statement, Raj Shah, the White House deputy press secretary, did not deny the account of the meeting on Thursday or directly address Mr. Trump’s comments.

“Certain Washington politicians choose to fight for foreign countries, but President Trump will always fight for the American people,” Mr. Shah said. “Like other nations that have merit-based immigration, President Trump is fighting for permanent solutions that make our country stronger by welcoming those who can contribute to our society, grow our economy and assimilate into our great nation.”

But the president’s vulgar language on a delicate issue left the fate of the broader immigration debate in limbo and had the potential to torpedo the chances of achieving the deal being sought to protect about 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children. And they drew a backlash from Republican and Democratic lawmakers, many of whom called Mr. Trump’s utterances unacceptable at best and plainly racist at worst.

Representative Mia Love, a Republican of Utah who is of Haitian descent, demanded an apology from the president, saying his comments were “unkind, divisive, elitist, and fly in the face of our nation’s values.”

“This behavior is unacceptable from the leader of our nation,” Ms. Love went on in an emotional statement that noted her heritage and that said her parents “never took a thing” from the government while achieving the American dream. “The president must apologize to both the American people and the nations he so wantonly maligned.”

“As an American, I am ashamed of the president,” said Representative Luis V. Gutiérrez, Democrat of Illinois. “His comments are disappointing, unbelievable, but not surprising.” He added, we can now “say with 100 percent confidence that the president is a racist who does not share the values enshrined in our Constitution or Declaration of Independence.”

The reactions were extraordinary bipartisan rebukes to a sitting president, but they only fanned what has been a long-simmering debate over Mr. Trump’s views and talk on race.

As much as I want to get angry and throw punches back at Trump, what I see, hear and experience all around me here in Nigeria, even Africa as a whole are not agreeing with me. Sorry to say this, Africa is at bottom of the world, it's a shithole. I agree with him

Gentleman I got only one advice for ya....take a walk, and keep walking. Obviously both of you are on different cruise. She wants you to man up, you want her to woman down. In short she's the man and all you want is a lady you'd want to defend, not actually have to defend in a fight.
Na so one ex tried that shit with me, ogbeni I seat inside motor look drama tire. When she got the message nobody told her to behave.
You aren't married yet you're already settling quarrel upandan, I just hope you guys don't stay in face me I face you after marriage....that's when you'd understand the full meaning of what Jesus said on the cross. IT IS FINISHED

GBAM!!!

1: Narcissism.

2: She loves you much and can't stand anyone annoying you in public. That's why a woman can call her man stupid and feel it's nothing. Let a third party try it and watch her bring White House Down . She always expects you to back her up, because she needs to prove she isn't fighting for someone who gives no fck.

is this the kind of advise you'll...

See What A Friend Just Showed Me; Ladies Please Be Careful

She just showed me the picture below, asking me the drug that is, that she has been seeing it in her BF's house.

Of course you know what that is..

I suspect the guy wants to get rid of the girl, that's why he's been flashing the stuff up and down. Lol

Olè!

... Come to think of it, must all relationship/dating lead to marriage? To me, it's just a gamble if it is going to work out or not before they are eternally committed. A lady can be in a relationship and after a while notice she may sacrifice her happiness if she got wedded and vice versa.

This Fayose sef, he feeds us all sorts of Bullshits everyday. Maybe before the end of the week he tell us he'll be an human right advocate after office, SO UNSTABLE

After this world record attendance, how many of them will be RAPTURABLE?

Shedrack777:
but why will people have to seek attention while doing these?

I think in this kind of scenario, the person is not after any other thing than to pass a particular message you and I.

cleatoris:
Sure!
But the government should lead by example.

I disagree with you bro, we have to stop waiting for the government. Let the people take the bull by the horn, our destinies are in our hands not in the hands of anyone. Waiting for the government make us [the people] to play second fiddle in the affairs of our country and being hypocritical.

Can they be blamed? They have their identity to protect

The Israeli government has issued a notice for thousands of African migrants to leave the country or face imprisonment.
Israel said on Wednesday that it would pay thousands of Africa migrants living illegally in the country to leave, threatening them with jail if they are caught after the end of March.
Each migrant will be given up to $3,500 (about N1.2 million) to leave within the next 90 days. They will also be given the option of going to their home countries or third countries.
If they do not leave, the Israeli authorities have threatened that they will start jailing them from April.
A spokesperson for Israel’s Population and Immigration Authority told the BBC that there were currently 38,000 “infiltrators” in Israel, of whom just 1,420 were being held in detention facilities.
“Beyond the end of March, those who leave voluntarily will receive a significantly smaller payment that will shrink even more with time, and enforcement measures will begin,” the official said.
Israel uses the term “infiltrators” to describe people who did not enter the country through an official border crossing.
Many of the migrants who are mostly from Eritrea and Sudan say they came to Israel to seek asylum after fleeing persecution and conflict, but the authorities regard them as economic migrants.
The United Nations refugee agency said the controversial plan violated international and Israeli laws.The Israeli government says their return will be humane and “voluntary”.
And the order exempts children, elderly people, and victims of slavery and human trafficking.
Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, claimed that an unchecked influx of African migrants could threaten Israel’s Jewish character.
“We have expelled about 20,000 and now the mission is to get the rest out,” Mr. Netanyahu said. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/254352-israel-offers-pay-african-migrants-leave-get-jailed.html

Best way to grow the economy. Government must continue to patronise indigenous manufacturers and services.

Mr Freeze, a true hero of our times.

I don't know why people don't appreciate this kind of heroism? Some are still castigating him,...

God will forgive governors that are using scriptural quotes and fake/demonic prophesies to sway their ignorant followers of their rights and destinies and still clap/fight and dance for such leaders. Such Governors should stop using the bible to steal in 2018,biko!

Trying to think about its possibilities, maybe each married at the age of 14/15yrs knowing fully well that getting married is highest achievement the femalefolks desire most. #JustThinking

How many times have any body from your lineage ever protested even against the omata unons pillaging them at upper iweka?

Wole went to jail because of biafra in 1967.

Wole defended massob even against GEJ

You still want 83 year old Wole to fight for you in 2017 after going to jail for your ancestors in 1967!! When will you folks develop enough courage to fight for yourselves? were you born with any deficiency in this regard? Is there no honest and brave man to fight for you in your lineage? Was Wole created to fight battles for you and your forbears?

Twitter War Between Igbo And Yoruba Over Who Has the Most Beautiful Women In Nigeria

What ethnic group has the most beautiful girls, Yoruba or Igbo?

Nigeria is a country blessed with diverse culture and traditions. The Igbo people, on the other hand, are a major ethnic group in Nigeria. They occupy the eastern parts of Nigeria.

For a while now, there have been controversies over the two ethnic groups in Nigeria. Choosing which ethnic group has the most beautiful girls often degenerates into a heated debate. Yoruba girls are usually tall and dark skinned; they are pretty ladies.

Today some Igbo and Yoruba ladies have engaged in a war of words on Twitter for the last 3 hours, and things are seemingly pretty tense.

I’m going to do my best to walk you through the timeline of this Twitter war check out the series of tweets below.
