President Trump, while complaining earlier this year about immigration levels during his first months in office, reportedly suggested that Haitian immigrants "all have AIDS."

According to a New York Times report, Trump did not only single out Haitian immigrants. He also said that Nigerians who gained entrance to the U.S. would never "go back to their huts" in Africa, and that Afghan immigrants came from a terrorist haven.

The remarks came during a meeting in June in which the president reportedly lashed out at what he deemed inadequate efforts to curb the number of foreigners receiving U.S. visas, according to the Times.

The White House denied to the Times that Trump ever used "AIDS" or "huts" to refer to immigrants from any country, and several people who attended the meeting said that they did not recall the president using such language.

Why this unreasonable hate for immigrants. Has Trump forgotten that his immigrant (probably illegal grandather was an immigrant who had been thrown out of his own country, Germany) after begging them to let him stay!
