On Thursday, The Washington Post reported that President Trump met with members of Congress over his prospective immigration deal on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) plan. Trump presumably wants to trade amnesty for so-called DREAMers for funding for a border wall, an end to chain migration, an increase in E-verify mandates, and an end to the so-called diversity visa lottery, which favors immigrants from non-European countries.
It was this last point that got President Trump’s goat during the meeting, according to the Post. They reported that Trump lost his temper and stated, “Why are we having all these people from s***hole countries come here?” He was apparently referring specifically to African countries and Haiti, and he contrasted those countries with Norway. Just this week, the administration removed protections for refugees from El Salvador.
