Trump: I Want Immigrants To Come To U.S. From 'Everywhere, Everywhere'

Source: Talking Points Memo

During an Oval Office appearance with the President of Kazakhstan Tuesday, President Donald Trump said he wants immigrants to come to the U.S. from “everywhere.”

Trump was responding to a shouted question from CNN’s Jim Acosta, who asked why Trump reportedly favors immigrants who come from European countries like Norway.

“I want them to come in from everywhere, everywhere,” Trump said.

The comment follows international outrage over Trump’s reported vulgar language during a bipartisan meeting with lawmakers last week, when he reportedly questioned why the U.S. needs more immigrants from Haiti and “shithole countries” like those in Africa. Trump also reportedly asked why the U.S. couldn’t attract more immigrants from Norway.

Trump's victory only highlights how sorely lacking we are compared to other first world nations. Considering how wealthy this nation is, our QOL stinks.
